I am Jonathan (Jon) Naylor and I have lived in the Varsity View community for many years. We held our wedding reception at the Albert Community Center. My two daughters went to Brunskill School and later graduated from Evan Hardy. I have two sons, one lives Downtown. The other has a house in Forest Grove.
I have a long history of community service. I spent 10 years in scouting as my two older boys grew up. For over 10 years I served on the board of the Varsity View – Grosvenor Community Association. I was President of the Association from 2016 to 2024 with a one year break
By profession, I am a veterinarian and an educator. My jobs have taken me around the world. I came to Saskatoon as a Professor at the University. I spent a lot of time helping farmers find better solutions to their disease problems, work that led to improved treatments and better prevention. Later on I developed award winning learning methods that integrated technology into the learning process. This led to the formation of a small company that markets this technology. We lived for a while in the Caribbean which gave us a new view on diversity. Then we returned to Saskatoon where I worked as a country vet and as an instructor at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
