Jennifer Campeau became the first First Nations woman
to be appointed to a Cabinet post in the Saskatchewan Party’s history. On June 5, Campeau was shuffled into the roles of Minister of Central Services and Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Transportation Corporation. The appointment is a first for the party and only the second time in provincial history. “I am very honoured to have this position and I’m committing to working hard as usual,” Campeau said. “It’s huge. First of all I didn’t think I was going to get to this point this quickly because I have only been an MLA for a little more than two years and definitely those two years have been a learning curve.” Campeau is a member of the Yellow Quill First Nation.
