working hard for

Grande Prairie

I’m one of those many people who moved to Grande Prairie “just for a few years.” I came just for a job, but it didn’t take me long to set down roots. I’ve had children, run youth programs, founded a disc golf club, and started a business. Along the way, I’ve come to love this place.

Grande Prairie has been a great place for me, my family, and so many others. I serve on Council because I want it to also be great for our kids and our grandkids.

But Council can’t build a community on its own, especially through these challenging times. Which is why I’ve created this website: to get you involved in the conversation. As you read my thoughts, I hope you will share yours. You can do that by commenting online, coming to one of my events, or setting up a time for us to chat.

Let’s work hard together to connect with our community and build a great Grande Prairie.

 
 
 

LEADERSHIP & IMPACT

In 2017, our residents first trusted me to serve on City Council. I’m so thankful for that. Grande Prairie is a great community going through tough times. I appreciate that my job is to help make our community even better while helping residents, businesses, and community organisations meet their needs. Having a positive impact on our community has always been the focus of my work and volunteer time.

WORKING HARD FOR YOU

I’ve spent four years working for the residents of Grande Prairie. Attending Council meetings, reading briefings, and communicating with our community is just part of the job. I’ve also represented the City on a number of boards, committees, and task forces.

 

BUILDING COMMUNITY

Whether I am working for Council or volunteering on my own time, making our community better is my priority. Disc golf, my neighbourhood association, youth programs, and a Community Accessibility Committee: these are some ways I stay involved.

Business & Non-Profit Experience

I spent much of my career as a non-profit director. I’m also a founder and co-owner of a labour company serving a variety of industries. These professional leadership roles have helped me understand needs in our community and how different organisations work.

 
 

KEEPING YOU INFORMED

City Hall shouldn’t be a black box. You should have influence over decisions and know how they get made. That’s why my biggest focus on Council has been transparency and engagement.

I’ve been an advocate of updating the City’s communications (and I’m glad to see huge progress made). I’ve also spent a lot of my time personally connecting with residents. Here are some of the opportunities I’ve created for you to keep informed about the work of Council.
