According to an online obituary, a former Saskatoon City Councillor has died. Glenn Penner passed away on Monday at Royal University Hospital after a short illness. The 82 year served 24 years as a City Councilor over four separate stints. He was also the Liberal MLA for Saskatoon Eastview from 1975 to 1979. Penner was a strong supporter of holding property taxes in line and finding cuts in other places during budget discussions.

Mayor Charlie Clark said on Twitter, “I was on City Council with Councillor Penner for his last two terms and through some pretty big debates. We didn’t always agree, but we had great discussions. He always took time to give me advice and hear my perspective as a young Councillor.” A memorial will be held June 27th at the Saskatoon Funeral Home.
