“Boundary changes are actually a very challenging thing,” Prebble reflects. “I very much relied in terms of my political ward on contact with my constituents, and I would go around my riding and visit a lot.While serving under Calvert, Prebble spearheaded environmental initiatives like a net metering program and a new energy conservation office. The office operated for six years before closing after the Saskatchewan Party government won the 2007 election.
“I’m grateful for my time in politics,” Prebble says. “I was very privileged to serve with three different NDP leaders.” In 1961, his parents settled in Salmon Arm, B.C., where they ran a small dairy farm. The family then relocated to Prince Edward Island, where they owned and operated a motel and cottages.
He continues in volunteer roles on the society’s board and as president of the SES Solar Co-operative Ltd., which has now accumulated more solar power capacity than city hall and the U of S combined. Even the Saskatchewan Party government, which offers nearly unconditional support for the fossil fuel industry, recently launched an initiative called Sustainable Saskatchewan.
