Post-secondary students in Saskatchewan can hit the books with confidence knowing Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young has their best interests at heart. Young was sworn in as the province’s new Minister of Advanced Education last Friday afternoon in Regina, a role she’s greatly looking forward to filling. “I am humbled and extremely honoured to be asked by Premier Scott Moe to serve the people of Saskatchewan as the Minister of Advanced Education,” said Young yesterday morning. “I am excited to delve into this role and portfolio to build stronger relationships and partnerships with the leaders of our post-secondary institutions. Working with them, we can continue to support students as they find their way through our universities, regional colleges, and polytech-
nic, and become our future workforce. “Over the years I have worked well with the leadership of Lakeland College to ensure Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and area students, who wish to attend, have the same opportunities to further their education, close to home.” “Colleen Young will be a strong minister with experience in this area, having served on the University of Saskatchewan Senate prior to her election to the Legislature,” explained Moe. This is Young’s first cabinet position since being elected to the Saskatchewan legislature in a Nov. 14, 2014 by-election. She was then re-elected in the 2016 and 2020 general elections. “I will continue to work for and serve my constituents to the very best of my ability. I am here to listen and help in any way I can,” added Young.
