REGINA – Carla Beck has appointed Athabasca MLA Leroy Laliberte as Shadow Minister for Mental Health and Addictions.
“After 20 years of the Sask. Party, our province is heading in the wrong direction on mental health, addictions, and so much more,” said Beck.
“Leroy has worked on the frontlines of the mental health crisis. He has dedicated so much to his community and has so much to offer the people of Saskatchewan.
“His experience and leadership will be invaluable as we fight for better mental health and addictions supports across the province.”
A former community outreach and wellness worker, Laliberte brings extensive frontline experience to the role, having spent more than two decades working collaboratively with northern communities to build and strengthen mental health programming.
Laliberte previously served as Community Wellness Manager for Flying Dust First Nation and as co-chair of the North West Friendship Centre in Meadow Lake, as well as running his own independent personal development and wellness consulting program.
“Across Saskatchewan, too many people are struggling to access the mental health and addiction support they need,” said Laliberte.
“I’ve seen firsthand the impact that strong community-based services can have on people and families.
“I’m honoured to take on this role and will continue working alongside communities, healthcare workers, and families to push for change for the people of Saskatchewan.”
Laliberte will also continue to serve as Shadow Minister for First Nations and Métis Affairs.
