Todd Boguski is running in the municipal election to become a councillor on the R.M. of Dauphin Council.
According to Boguski, he was born and raised in Sifton, where his family ran a grocery store for over thirty-five years.
"My brother and I lived with them... and we've basically lived in the R.M. our entire lives... [We] relocated a little bit away for school, but then ended up coming back home and [have] made this home now," he adds.
Todd Boguski says that he's running for office because he admired the way his parents gave back to the community while he was growing up.
"I asked [my dad] once... 'why do you do it?' and he [said]... we live in such a great location and giving back just allows everybody to... enjoy what we have and I've kind of modelled that growing up and... now that I'm at a certain age, it allows me more time. I feel it's my right to do the same now," he adds.
Boguski says that he's running because he considers himself to be somewhat youthful in age with different perspectives and ideas.
"The R.M. of Dauphin is a great location. We have so many great things to offer and I think... working with the City allows us an opportunity to really showcase what we have here," he adds.
Todd Boguski says that if he's elected, he plans on being available for all residents and wants to listen to what they have to say.
"Fostering great relationships with the people of the R.M... is key, [along with] hearing what they have to say and being able to take that back to council," he adds.
Anyone interested in running for municipal office must register before September 20th.
The election is scheduled for October 26th.
