You may remember he won the election in Moose Jaw North with the promise of building a new hospital in our city.  12 years later Warren Michelson is announcing he will not seek re-election.

Mr. Michelson wrote some nice things when he shared the news on social media.  He says serving his constituents has been gratifying and he points to the construction of our new hospital, Mosaic Place and YaraCentre as some of the hi-lights of his three terms in office.

A number of people reacted including a local man who delivered a short tribute that's about as nice as anyone could hope for.

He wrote, "Thanks for your service Warren.  You challenged status quo, were elected on the promise  that we could be so much more and worked tirelessly to see that through.  You are a vocal advocate for all things Moose Jaw, you serve your constituents to the best of your ability and when it comes time to retire, will certainly have left things better than you found them."
