Saskatchewan mayor who clashed with ‘Queen of Canada’ cult to leave top job

Sep 30, 2026 | 11:24 PM

RICHMOUND — The mayor of a southwestern Saskatchewan village that spent two years bedevilled by the Kingdom of Canada cult is stepping down.

A brief social media post from the Village of Richmound says Brad Miller’s resignation takes effect Oct. 14 and that information about a byelection will be shared once a date is set.

The village first made headlines in 2023 when the so-called “Queen of Canada” Romana Didulo and her followers set up a compound in a former school and soon began badgering residents.

The school had its sewer and water access cut off and was later closed for health reasons, as open sewage could be seen bubbling on the grounds.
