Aldridge promising LLRIB voters honesty and integrity

“I’m promising to come and work for the LLRIB in a more traditional governance model where the leadership is at the bottom of the hierarchy,” Aldridge said. “So, trying to flip the script of western democracy where there’s one person at the top of the pyramid. I’m seeking to reverse that practice and let people know I’m flexible and my doors are open.”

Aldridge also believes a good chief should be humble and have strength and resilience. She mentioned that means being well-rounded holistically and encouraging band members to do the same.

Another issue Aldridge is passionate about is the environment. For example, she noted all of her campaign signs are made from recycled materials.

“I will also be going to homes to connect with voters to find out what their concerns are,” Aldridge said. “Not only their concerns, but also seek to encourage them to see the positives in our community because we do have to start with a strength-based approach.”

Aldridge holds a Bachelor of Education degree from the former Northern Teachers Education Program and a Masters of Education degree in administration through the University of Saskatchewan. She’s currently an adult basic education teacher for Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies.

Other candidates seeking the three-year term as chief are Tammy Cook-Searson, Bruce Mckenzie, James Mckenzie, Eugene Mirasty and Jude Ratt. Advanced polls are March 19 between noon and 7 p.m. Election day is March 30 with polls open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
