Meet Jeff
Jeff Walters grew up with working-class values and a firm belief that any obstacle can be overcome with perseverance, hard work, and the conviction of one’s beliefs.
Raised by a loving couple with roots in Saskatchewan going back generations, they taught him their commitment to opportunity for all, regardless of class, race, gender, age, or religion.
Jeff, his wife Kristin, and their five children are proud Saskatchewan residents.
