Mayor and Council Bios

Village Council consists of 5 residents dedicated to the Village, constituents, community and business sector. They continue to strive to make Carmacks a better place.
 
Below you will find a bio of each member of Council.
In the grocery business from the tender age of 17 years,Mayor Lee Bodie I found the love of my life.... FOOD. I've been in the business ever since. Now at the tender age of 62 years, I still feel young on the inside, but the mirror shows a completely different reflection. Having managed 6 stores and owned my own store, invaluable life lessons have been learned with respect to customer service and dealing with a varied clientele, to say nothing of the financial implications of multi-million dollar businesses.

I love my work and I love making improvements and finding better ways to do the same thing. And, I love to make work fun. Come to any of our Council meetings and you'll see that we try to add a little "zest" to the often unappealing issues of waste water and solid waste facilities. I take the role of Mayor very seriously though and strive to make Carmacks a better place to live, along with the help of the rest of the Council. Expect some fun along the way is all I'm sayin'.    
Photo and bio coming soon!

I was raised in south eastern Saskatchewan and first came to Carmacks in 1990, after graduating from the University of Regina with a BA in mathematics. My plan was to spend one working summer here, but like many others, I was caught in the spell of the Yukon.

My first encounter with the municipal world was as the clerk for the Village of Carmacks from 1993 – 1996. That was a great experience and I gained a real appreciation for what it takes to govern the community.

This is my fourth term on Council and I have had the pleasure of working with three different mayors and CAO’s, each with their own style and way of doing things. I have learned a lot and have a lot to learn so I am eager to get back to the table and get to work.
