Biography
Victoria Jurgens was first elected to the legislature in the 2011 provincial election. Victoria’s professional life is multi-faceted: she owned and operated a small business that dealt with the forestry and agro forestry sectors and she also worked as a dietitian and public health nutritionist with the Prince Albert Parkland Health Region. She holds an MBA from Athabasca University, as well as a B.Sc. in Nutrition and a B.A. in Psychology, both from the University of Saskatchewan.
In 2009, the Dietitians of Canada recognized Victoria for her leadership as part of their Vision 2020 strategy. Victoria says the Prince Albert Northcote constituency is a vibrant one, rich with people, ideas and resources. “I want to help build on the positive enthusiasm of the people in my community and ensure that all residents have the opportunity to reach their full potential,” she said.
Victoria and her husband Allan have been married for 35 years and have three adult children and one granddaughter. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, weight training, reading, cooking, baking and solving Sudoku puzzles.
When asked about what she loves most about Saskatchewan, she said: “The best thing about Saskatchewan is its people. Two close seconds are the beautiful skies and our acreage where we can get ‘away from it all’.”
