Saskatoon city council has withdrawn its nomination of Ward 1 Coun. Darren Hill for a position on the board of a national advocacy organization for Canadian cities.
The decision came out of a special council session held Monday evening. Hill accused his council colleagues of “seeming intent on taking away everything” he’s worked towards at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).

Hill said he’d felt “shunned” by his colleagues since he went public about mental health issues stemming from a brain injury suffered in 2016, coupled with a traumatic last few years that included the loss of a child, the end of his marriage and a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Hill defended his conduct at the federation and said he felt like he was being unfairly targeted. I ve been shunned by my colleagues, who seem intent on taking away everything I ve worked toward, he said. There have been many statements made by members of the public, including the disabled community, who are shocked at the lack of support.
Hill said he is in treatment for a number of issues stemming from a previous brain injury, brain fog after a case of COVID-19, as well as counselling after the death of his son and the recent breakup of his marriage. He submitted documents from his medical team that said he would be able to fulfil his duties.
