Leonard Svennes was born on October 14, 1958 in Porcupine Plain, SK to parents Jim & Annie Svennes. Leonard was the youngest of two children. He grew up on his family farm west of Chelan, SK. Leonard enjoyed working outside with animals and helped his neighbours with live stock when he could. He attended school in Chelan from 1964-1968 and then attended school in Bjorkdale from 1968-1974. At age 16 Leonard entered the workforce and worked various jobs including Mid West Drilling, open pit mining in Uranium City, and the RM of Bjorkdale as a grader operator.
