With a "strong grasp of economics and politics," Simmie claims he is well positioned to help Regina attract investment and navigate a changing global landscape.

Flegel is a past president of North Regina Little League and Regina Crime Stoppers. Additionally, he’s been actively involved in Ward 10’s business community for the past 35 years.
