Sheri Benson {{post-nominals|country=CAN|MP}} is a Canadian politician, who was elected to represent the riding of Saskatoon West in the House of Commons of Canada in the federal election of 2015. Benson is a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP). Prior to her election she was the CEO of the local United Way and also served as a justice of the peace.[1][2] Benson was appointed as Deputy Leader of the New Democratic Party serving with Alexandre Boulerice on March 14, 2019 by party leader Jagmeet Singh.

She is one of five out LGBT people serving in the 42nd Canadian Parliament, alongside Rob Oliphant, Seamus O'Regan, Randall Garrison and Randy Boissonnault.[3] Benson is the first out LGBT politician in Saskatchewan to be elected to the House of Commons and first out lesbian before being elected to parliament.

Benson currently serves as the New Democratic Party Deputy-Leader and critic for Housing in the 42nd Canadian Parliament.[4]

She lived in Winnipeg during her childhood, where she also participated in Girl Guides of Canada programs as a Brownie and Guide. As a member of Girl Guides, Benson earned a fire safety badge for which she was presented a certificate of achievement by Manitoba's then-Minister of Labour, Howard Pawley, and often went by the nickname "Safety Sher".[5]

Background and prior community involvement[2]

United Way

As CEO for the local United Way, since 2009, Benson worked with community, labour and business groups to launch Saskatoon’s first-ever Plan to End Homelessness and Saskatoon's Housing First Program. Benson also implemented the organization’s ground-breaking Aboriginal Engagement Strategy.

Under Benson's leadership, United Way support for community programs grew 60%—to nearly $5-million in 2014.

Victims of Domestic Violence Act

Benson was the inaugural Justice of the Peace for Saskatchewan’s Victims of Domestic Violence Act. And in 2014, Benson's hard work was recognized with a YWCA Woman of Distinction Award for Community Building.

Community services

To further strengthen community services, she co-founded the Saskatoon Collaborative Funding Partnership and has co-chaired the Saskatoon Regional Intersectoral Committee.
