Personal life

Chisholm was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan and grew up on a farm in Maidstone. Prior to running for public office in 2003, Chisholm was an accountant. He is married with three sons and three grandchildren.

Controversy

Chisholm was involved in a minor controversy in May 2008, when he called NDP MLA Deb Higgins a "dumb bitch" during a debate. Chisholm did not directly say the statement to Higgins personally, but it was audible enough to be recorded as he sat back down. Chisholm resigned as legislative secretary a few days later.
