One of the final citizens to submitted candidacy for Swift Current city council is Lawrence Carr.

Carr is the owner of Sign Here and is also a member of the board of directors for Swift Current & District Chamber of Commerce.

He believes that the current city council has made the correct steps towards moving forward while noting the city has the potential to continue moving in that direction.

"I think the current city council has actually done a pretty good job moving the city forward, I think it's tough economically, taxes and all the things that come with that. I do believe that we are going the right direction; we have some great opportunities coming our way with the new power plant. For us I think it's very important to keep that on track and make that work," he said.

Carr thinks being a part of the council would be his way of giving back to the community.

"Well I've paid attention to city politics for (a long) time now, I've gone to quite a few meetings and I think I could add something in there. I thought it was a good opportunity to serve the city and to help move the city forward on a positive note, and not only the city but the city and the surrounding area," Carr said.

Carr will join 17 other city council candidates on October 5th at Living Sky Centre for the all candidates forum.
