Saskatchewan Polytechnic is proud to recognize Rob Clark with an honorary degree in Applied Studies at its Moose Jaw campus convocation.
A lifelong resident of Moose Jaw, Clark is a highly respected business leader whose career has been deeply rooted in media sales and management. He started at the Moose Jaw Times Herald in 2001 and spent 13 years there, including roles as publisher and provincial director of operations.
Beyond his media career, Clark has been a driving force in the local business community. He served on the Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce board for over a decade, including time as president, and has been leading the organization as CEO since 2015.
“We proudly acknowledge Rob’s visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to the City of Moose Jaw,” says Dr. Larry Rosia, president and CEO of Sask Polytech. “Rob has been a mainstay in the community, consistently championing Moose Jaw’s businesses and industries through his work in media and through his more than 10 years at the helm of the Chamber of Commerce. His dedication to community growth and collaboration is truly inspiring.”
Clark’s passion for community involvement extends beyond the workplace. For more than 35 years, he was actively engaged in the local sports scene as both a player and coach. These experiences have allowed him to build meaningful connections, foster teamwork, and mentor others—creating lasting friendships along the way.
Clark has also held board roles with Tourism Moose Jaw, South Central Community Futures, the Downtown Moose Jaw Association and the City of Moose Jaw’s Economic Recovery Task Team. In 2021, Rob was awarded the Roger Phillips Chamber Builder Award from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce.
