David Chan is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan in the 2024 general election, representing Yorkton as a member of the Saskatchewan Party.[1]
Following an announcement on May 29, 2023 that Greg Ottenbreit would not seek re-election,[2] Chan won a contested nomination to become the Saskatchewan Party's candidate in Yorkton, over two other contenders on March 7, 2024.[3]
Prior to his political career, Chan worked as a mental health councillor for several area Indigenous communities. He holds degrees from Thompson Rivers University and Royal Roads University. He also worked for both institutions, as a projected manager for Thompson Rivers University in Chile and the Middle East and as a faculty member at Royal Roads University. In a volunteer capacity, he has coached senior boys' basketball, labored as a residential care worker, tutored Indigenous youth, and instructed English.[4]
