Councillor Blog February 2025

Welcome back, White City residents and neighbours from the surrounding area, to the February 2025 edition of the White City Councillor Blog! This month, we’re excited to share a special “Get to Know the Mayor” feature, where Mitch will be answering some questions to help you learn a bit more about him!

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

“Hi, I grew up in Regina, SK, and made the switch from city life to become part of the vibrant and close-knit community of White City three years ago. My wife, Sarah, and our two boys love spending our weekends at the lake, where we’re usually golfing or boating.”

What’s one fun or surprising fact about you that most people might not know?

“I’m an avid golfer with a real passion for travel!”

What’s one thing on your bucket list you’ve yet to check off? “Attending a Kansas City Chiefs football game in Kansas City is definitely on my bucket list.”

What do you enjoy most about living in our community?

“The thing I enjoy most about living here is the people. There’s something special about our close-knit community—neighbours become friends, and everyone stays actively engaged. It’s a great feeling to be part of something so connected.”

What’s your favourite spot in town, and why?

“The Double K rink is my favorite spot. As a dad with two young boys who love hockey, we spend more and more time there every year. It’s become a hub for family fun!.”

What’s one thing you think everyone in White City should try at least one?

“I’d recommend getting involved in one of White City’s events or programs—whether it’s a Movie in the Park, the Twinkle Tour, or the Winter Festival. It’s a unique experience to enjoy these events alongside your neighbours and friends..”

Can you describe White City in three words?

“Small, Vibrant, Community”

What inspired you to run for mayor?

Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing the charm White City has to offer while raising our two boys alongside my wife, Sarah. As one of the fastest-growing communities in Saskatchewan,

White City has certainly faced its challenges. As a community member and someone committed to being a long-term resident, I am dedicated to ensuring a bright future for all. I want White City to remain a safe, thriving community that we can all be proud of. I am deeply committed to community service and enhancing the quality of life for all residents. My goal is to foster a vibrant, engaged community.

What is your vision for the future of our community?

“I’m committed to enhancing the quality of life for all residents of White City and fostering a vibrant, engaged community. With a passion for recreation and responsible spending, I envision a community that is both thriving and sustainable for future generations.”

What do you think sets White City apart from other towns in the area?

“White City stands out because of its strong sense of community, beautiful surroundings, and its proximity to Regina. We have easy access to urban amenities while maintaining the peaceful charm of a small town. The focus on family-friendly activities, well-maintained parks, and local events creates a welcoming environment that fosters connection and pride among residents.”
