Come Grow With Us!

Council

MAYOR BRAD BULBUCK

My wife Corinne is the Office Manager at the Redvers Medical Clinic. We have twin boys, Benjamin and Joshua who both live in Redvers.
I opened my own business in April of 2021, Brad’s Lawn Maintenance Limited. I currently work at E-Bourassa & Sons. Previous employment experience includes 24 years with RBC Royal Bank and 8 years in the Oilfield. I have traveled all over Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario with RBC, and decided to change careers and move back to Corinne’s home town. We moved back to the area in 2012 and moved into Redvers in 2015. I have lived a little bit of everywhere.

I enjoy watching hockey in the winter, love going to the Rockets games as well as watching my young nephews and niece play hockey. In summer, I spend a lot of time at the golf course. Corinne and I love to travel and try to get away each winter.
Over the past 15 years I began taking more of an interest in politics so I decided if I wanted to make a difference I would have to get more involved. I love being involved and when my first term as a Councilor was completed, our former Mayor decided to retire. I felt I was ready for a bigger challenge and decided to let my name stand for Mayor. It is very fulfilling when you have a team that comes together and really gets things accomplished. We are excited to have new people join Council and make a difference to our community.

The number 1 priority for this Council is to finished our approved Water Treatment Plant built. Other projects that I would like to see progress on are: attract buyers to put up some new houses in the new subdivision, bring a new hotel to town, bring some new jobs to town through further economic development. I want to work with the Health Foundation, and the SHA to improve doctor retention for the community. Would also like to see some enhancements/improvement to our recreational facilities as well as exploring ideas with respect to arts and culture enhancements.
We have excellent people living in our community and we are very proud of Redvers. When soliciting for volunteers or donations, Redvers is a very giving community. We have a diverse population that are full of ideas and we all care for each other.
The satisfaction that comes when a project is completed as well as working with our amazing staff and other councilors. The beauty of our team is, we all listen to each other and respect each others ideas. It is very important to have an open mind and listen to your colleagues. You can’t build a house with one brick, you need many bricks.

 

DEPUTY MAYOR OWEN GAVELIN

I have lived in Redvers since 2010. I have been married to Courtney since 2007 and we have 3 kids; twin boys, Kyson and Ryker and a daughter, Emmie.
I became a councilor for the Town of Redvers in 2015. I previously worked in the oilfield and started working full time for Toms Grain Co in 2015. Aside from the boards I sit on as a Town Representative, I am also on the Minor Hockey Board.
During the winter months, I’m very busy with hockey. All 3 kids play and I help coach them. I also play rec hockey with the Dirty Dogs. This year I also started officiating hockey again. In the summer I play slo-pitch and chase the kids around for their ball and motocross. We also try to get out camping when we can. I originally started on Council because someone suggested I should try it. I soon realized that I enjoyed it and like helping make decisions to move our town forward.
I would really like to see an expansion and upgrade of our water treatment plant. It’s no secret that our water isn’t very good. I want everybody to be able to drink town water straight from the tap without any extra “in home” treatment. Upgrades to existing rec facilities and maybe even some new spaces like a BMX track would be exciting for the kids.
Currently the Maintenance Men, Office Staff and Council have been working hard behind the scenes to get things ready for water treatment expansion.
Since being on Council, I have realized that way more goes into keeping everything running smoothly than most people realize.

 

COUNCILLOR DONNA GILBERTSON

I moved to Redvers in 2006 with my spouse Michael Garnier and my two boys Kristopher and Coyle. I had lived in Regina prior to coming here for 27 years. Then in 2009, we had a daughter Arianna. I have worked at Nelson Motors & Equipment since June 2007 starting out as Reception/Accounts Payable. I am currently a Service Writer, and Michael is working for SaskPower as a System Support Specialist. My boys have now moved from home and are living in Regina, and I have been here in Redvers for 19 years.

I became a Councilor for the Town of Redvers in 2020, and currently sit as the Vice Chair of the Library Board and am also a board member with Redvers Tourism, Redvers Housing, and the Redvers Rec Board.
I enjoy going to football games and I love to travel. I also like to camp in the summer, and watch Arianna compete in dance and volleyball during the school year.
I joined Town Council to assist in the decisions to help make the future of Redvers be a welcoming and great community for years to come.
Sooner than later we will have a water treatment plant that we can be proud of, as we do not have the best water at this time, but we will hopefully soon have the best quality of water in Southeast Saskatchewan. I  am excited to see what the next four years bring.
The main thing I have learned by being on Town Council is that there are a lot of decisions made by Council and Staff behind the scenes, and that it takes a bunch of go getters to get some of these jobs completed so that they are not just left without any results.
What I enjoy most is being able to help contribute to the future of Redvers to make it not only be an inviting place to visit but possibly move here to raise a family.

 

COUNCILLOR KEN THOMAS

I live right here in Redvers with my partner Mary, who works at our local hospital. Prior to that, I’ve lived in the high arctic, in Nunavut! I have been on Council for about a year and a half, and through Council I serve on the Redvers & District Recreation Board, Town HR Committee, and Town Water & Sewer Committee.
In my spare time I am an avid golfer, I love to read, and I miss very few NASCAR events on tv!
The reason I joined Council was so I could assist in any way, helping our community grow and prosper is my goal.
While there are many projects in Redvers I am invested in, the Water Treatment Plant project is one I hope to address in an aggressive manner. I am also passionate about our future in health care. I want to not only keep what we have, but bring more services to the area, promoting growth.
I enjoy thinking outside of the box and offering a different perspective on many topics so Redvers continues to be a vibrant and progressive community.
What I have learned most by being a member of Council is that Redvers is a community of hospitable and caring citizens who welcome newcomers with open arms.

 

COUNCILLOR JEREMY KAMP
Over the years I have lived in Moose Jaw, Manor, and now in Redvers. I would say that my favourite hobby is working, I am the Meat Department Manager t at Advantage Co-op. I live with my partner Sherry Barber, and she has two kids, Summer & Dustin. I often volunteer, I will go wherever Co-op takes me! Previously I have worked at the Silvermoon Inn and Kamp’s Korner Gas (2002-2014). I am most looking forward to helping Redvers expand on its services, as well as have a hand in the future of our recreation facilities.

 

COUNCILLOR DAWN EILERS

 

COUNCILLOR (VACANT)
A bi-election for the vacant seat on the Town of Redvers Council will be held in the first quarter of 2025.

 

JUNIOR COUNCILLOR AVA STEENBRUGGEN
I have always lived in and around Redvers. Currently I am in Grade 12 at Redvers School, and when the opportunity was offered to become a Junior Councilor, I accepted. My favourite thing to do is read. An interesting fact about me is that I own almost 700 books!
Although I’m only 17, I look forward to what I can learn by observing Council. I hope to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes in a municipality.
I truly enjoy seeing younger kids be involved in a variety of different activities, and am grateful for all that is offered here for Minor Sports. Right now I work for Today’s Enterprises, as well as at the rink kitchen when I can. I also take hockey pictures for teams in the area.
