CORONACH — Calvin Martin is now serving his second term as mayor of Coronach after having been first elected in 2020. Martin has lived in Coronach since 2019 when they moved to purchase Coronach Agencies, a long-term business in the community.
Martin’s role in leadership includes serving as chief financial officer/secretary treasurer of Saskatchewan school divisions, first in Lanigan School Division in 1985 and retiring with Prince Albert Catholic Schools in 2016.
Coronach’s mayor has also served on the boards of the Insurance Broker’s Association and is currently on the General Insurance Council of Saskatchewan.
The town’s website says that the community’s secret to success is that everyone works together to make Coronach a great place to live.
The town’s mission is to work towards a resilient, thriving Coronach, which is something Mayor Martin has committed to.
“With the position of our current federal government on the use of coal to generate power, our community was looking at a significant reduction in population with employees migrating to other jobs outside the community. As a local business owner, I felt it was necessary to become involved in trying to mitigate these potential losses,” acknowledges the mayor.
“I wish for the community to remain as a vibrant and thriving place to live, work and raise a family. Coronach is a vibrant community in the Big Muddy area of Saskatchewan. There is a rich history including Castle Butte and Sam Kelly Outlaw Caves. Guided tours of these places are conducted in the summer months.”
Mayor Martin says that in the past six years their town has upgraded their water treatment plant and completed a revitalization of the downtown core with new water and sewer lines, sidewalks and pavement.
Coronach is located just north of the United States border. Their website states that they have a pace best described as beautifully relaxed, but don’t think that their relaxed atmosphere means nothing is going in in the community.
Their website www.townofcoronach.ca carries all of the information beneficial to residents, visitors, potential future residents or investors and anyone else interested in what this southern Saskatchewan community has to offer.
