Katelyn Zimmer is a second-generation veterinarian and lives with her husband Joe, a civil engineer, and their two children, Stan and Hazel. Their acreage in the Carlton Trail- Eagle Creek riding is also home to three dogs, a horse, pony, two miniature donkeys, and flock of chickens.

Katelyn has strong prairie ties. Her parents were born and raised in Regina; her mother trained as a nurse at the Regina General Hospital, and her father attended the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon.

Katelyn moved to Saskatoon in 2005 to finish her Bachelor of Science degree in physiology and ended up staying in Saskatchewan after falling in love with the province and her husband! She graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014 with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and has worked in mixed and small animal practice, as well as a locum veterinarian.

Katelyn was actively involved with the Saskatchewan Veterinary Medical Association, serving on council and as a representative on various committees. She now sits on the School Community Council for her children' s school.

Her favourite part about her work as a veterinarian is getting to know people and forming relationships with clients. Katelyn will communicate the unique concerns of her constituents and the prairies, improve dialogue and work constructively to promote unity.

As a wife, mother and an employee of a small business, Katelyn is someone that the residents of Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek can relate to, and she is eager to represent and advocate for rural Saskatchewan.
