Peter Prebble

Political career Prebble had a long career as a New Democratic Party member of the Saskatchewan legislature, representing the constituencies of Saskatoon Sutherland from 1978 to 1982, Saskatoon University from 1986 to 1991, and Saskatoon Greystone from 1999 to 2007. He frequently contended with constituency boundary changes in a rapidly growing Saskatoon. Prebble staked a claim as the "comeback kid" of Saskatchewan politics, returning to the legislature after losing his seat on two occasions and unsuccessfully attempting a comeback out of retirement in 2011. He also served in the government's of three different premiers: Allan Blakeney, Roy Romanow, and Lorne Calvert.

Prebble was first elected in the 1978 provincial election in Saskatoon Sutherland. In the 1982 election he ran for re-election in the re-instated neighbouring district of Saskatoon University, but was defeated by Rick Folk of the Progressive Conservatives. He ran again in the 1986 election, that time defeating Folk. After that riding was dissolved ahead of the 1991 election, Prebble ran in the new district of Saskatoon Greystone that year, but was defeated by Liberal Party leader Lynda Haverstock. He did not run in the 1995 election. Following Haverstock's retirement, however, Prebble was re-elected in the 1999 election and served the district for two terms before retiring ahead of the 2007 election. Prebble helped launch an energy conservation office, which operated for six years before it was closed by the Saskatchewan Party government following the 2007 election. However, Prebble lost to incumbent Rob Norris.

Post politics In the mid-1990s, Prebble was the coordinator for Saskatoon Communities for Children. After his first retirement from politics in 2007, he acted as the director of energy and water policy for the Saskatchewan Environmental Society (SES). From 2012 to 2016 Prebble was the director of environmental policy for SES, a role in which he authored and co-authored numerous reports and articles on climate and energy policy.

Prebble has been a vocal critic of the Saskatchewan Party government's environmental and climate change policies. He has also been an advocate for ecosystem and wildlife preservation.

In 2026, Prebble endorsed Avi Lewis in that year's federal NDP leadership race.
