Returning for the PPC in Saskatoon-Grasswood is Mark Friesen who collected 692 votes (1.4 per cent). Guto Penteado is also a returning candidate vying for the Saskatoon-University riding. In 2019 Penteado collected 667 votes (1.42 per cent).
Kevin Boychuk is running for the PPC in the Saskatoon-West riding, replacing Isaac Hayes as the PPC candidate. Hayes received 775 votes (2 per cent) in 2019. Boychuk nearly won the race for Ward 1 in the 2020 Saskatoon municipal election. Boychuk lost by only 56 votes to incumbent Darren Hill.
