Mayor

As the mayor of the municipality of Salla, I am responsible for the overall management and coordination of the various activities of the municipality.

The work is diverse and motivating, and it is wonderful to do it together with skilled workers and active people in positions of trust.

The people of Salla are persistently industrious and persevering in nature. Our diverse and tragic history, with its wars, forfeit of territory, and reconstruction, creates a good foundation for development and for knowing how to put the challenges of today into the right proportions.

I create guidelines and reinforce, by way of example, the cohesive spirit of our community. This involves confidential and transparent cooperation with entrepreneurs and other actors. Together, we create vitality and build a strong and lasting future for Salla.

Internationalism is becoming more and more a part of my work as a mayor, and it also guides Salla’s development as a naturally beautiful and pure arctic place to live – in the middle of nowhere.
