Campaign Roundup - Day 5:

• CTV profiled Ward 1 candidates. Five candidates are running for the seat: incumbent Darren Hill, business owner Kevin Boychuk, business owner and mother Kathryn MacDonald, Sutherland Curling Club assistant manager Dallas Burnett, and electrician Russell Nadin.
  
  
• CTV also ran a profile on Ward 3 candidates. Running for the seat are Devyn Gregoire, who is the Events and Marketing Coordinator at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Students' Association, Robert Pearce, a Pastor at Fairmont Baptist Church and a founding member of the Saskatoon West Business Association, and Mike San Miguel, who serves as an Industry Partnership Representative at SGI and was as the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commissioner for seven years.
  
  
• Local playwright Joel Bernbaum endorsed Cynthia Block for Mayor, based on her support for the arts.
  
  
• Mayoral candidate Cary Tarasoff criticized Cynthia Block for voting for the new arena, suggesting that it would cause added taxes for residents.
