MEET YOUR COUNCILLOR: ANTHONY BARLOW
I am the Owner of Ripper Well servicing Ltd. I have been working for this company for 10 years, and bought the company 2.5 years ago, I really enjoy what I do, the hard work it takes and the challenges that arise with the job, the critical thinking skills, the employees and contractors I have. The Kindersley area has been a pleasure for a small business owner.
My hobbies include hunting, fishing & snowmobiling when time permits. I enjoy spending most of my spare time with my wife Mercedes and my two young sons Cohen and Ace, whether it be chasing them with their sports or getting time teaching and showing them good life values and good ethics.
My favorite places in Kindersley have to be the west central events centre, Motherwell Reservoir & the trail around it, both Kinsmen and Rosedale outdoor rinks, golf course, spray park with the kids, I guess there is a lot.
The reasons I decided to run for council is because I am 30 years old and there is new generation of people in Kindersley that will eventually have to start taking these positions at some point, maybe it will get some attention, get some more voters and maybe even more people running next election and future elections. I am also infatuated with learning how things operate and coming up with resolutions to optimize in places that could use improvement. Such as our lift station in rosedale for 1 example.
My Goals on council will to assure the lift station issue in Rosedale and other areas gets resolved and not swept under the rug. Also any kind of low income housing Kindersley would be able to subdivide or apply for, rising cost of living a serious issue, I am sure we can all relate and know someone struggling. A person would have to see what issues and plans are currently present when getting onto council to see what needs to take priority.
I have been in Kindersley for 29 years. And it really is an incredible and resource rich town. The businesses and people in the town are great and very talented, I feel like there really is something for everyone here.
