The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association\u0027s new president endured a personal loss amid a noteworthy year for the Yorkton councillor.
Goulden became the second woman to win the SUMA presidency on April 5 when she defeated Shaunavon Mayor Kyle Bennett at the organization’s annual convention.Goulden sobs while discussing his support for her candidacy in an interview this month.
Goulden had also served as interim SUMA president after Button lost her 2016 mayoral re-election bid in Weyburn, making her ineligible to hold a SUMA position. This time Goulden decided the time was right to run for the presidency. “It was just a temporary thing, come in for a couple of years, there were some challenges, come in for a couple of years,” Goulden recalls. “And, well, I’m still here.”
And Goulden has held Saskatchewan Roughriders season tickets for 44 years, one of the many fans who journey hours to attend games in person in Regina. Polegi credits Goulden’s appeal and longevity in a variety of roles to her focus on people: “She’s genuinely interested in meeting people and learning about them.”“I think people would be surprised at just how much time and effort she puts into preparing for her council activities and, in fact, I think all her activities in which she’s involved, particularly in the elected realm,” Polegi says.
“It was a natural step to run for city council, just to become more involved in the community and to work with the user groups,” she says. “It’s different on how we reach decisions, our decision making. It’s different in how the communication usually happens. And I think the better the bigger mix, the better it is for all municipal councils.”
Goulden recognizes this issue and cautions it will require continued discussion without an obvious solution.
