Wall continued his tradition of begin the first nominated candidate as the SaskParty begins to get organized politically for the next provincial election expected in 2016. The SaskParty will be holding an additional 60 nominating meeting across the province this year, including a scheduled 10 during April.

“Really we’ve got to make sure we get that long term care centre built and completed here. This is going to be a special place. We’ve had the front line staff involved, in part by the way because of LEAN, which has gotten some attention lately. We’ve had the front line staff helping to design it. I think it’s the right size in terms of beds,” Wall said on Thursday after his nomination meeting at the Home Inn and Suites.
“I think there’s some other important developments in healthcare that can happen here. There are other important infrastructure project I’d like to be a part of as the MLA working with the City of Swift Current.
