REGINA — Flags at the Legislature have been lowered to half mast on news of the death of former Sask Party MLA and cabinet minister Herb Cox.
Premier Scott Moe made the announcement on social media that Cox has passed away. Cox was MLA for The Battlefords from 2011 to 2020 and had previously served as Minister of Advanced Education and Minister of Environment.
Moe's statement is as follows:
"Today, we are mourning the loss of former MLA, minister, colleague and good friend Herb Cox of North Battleford.
"When you enter cabinet, you get to put the word 'Honourable' before your name. We all aspire to be worthy of that title, and without a doubt Herb Cox was. He served his community and his province with honour and dedication.
"On behalf of a grateful province and government, our deepest condolences to Herb’s family and many friends. Flags at the Legislature will be lowered in honour of Herb Cox."
More to come.
