Released on October 30, 1998
Premier Roy Romanow today announced the appointment of Alex Campbell
as Deputy Minister of Northern Affairs.
His appointment is effective December 1, 1998.
"Mr. Campbell brings with him twenty years of public sector
experience, having worked for the Governments of Manitoba and the
Northwest Territories," Romanow said.
Since 1993, he has served as Executive Director of Nunavut Tunngavik
Inc. (NTI), the organization charged with implementing all Inuit
obligations and responsibilities under the Nunavut Land Claims
Agreement, the largest treaty in Canadian history.
"I am pleased that the Government of Saskatchewan has successfully
recruited an individual of Mr. Campbell's experience and expertise and
am confident that his skills and background are well-suited to leading
the government's continued efforts in addressing the challenges facing
Northern Saskatchewan," Romanow added.
Campbell replaces Ray McKay who has retired from the public service
after a twenty year career including the past two years as deputy
minister.
Mr. McKay played a leading role in the development of many initiatives that have been designed to better the lives of all Northern Saskatchewan residents and I wish him all the best in the future," Romanow said.
