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, made friends, run youth programs, founded a disc golf club, volunteered on boards, and started businesses. Along the way, I’ve come to love this place.
I’m so thankful for the opportunities Grande Prairie has given to my family and me. In everything I do, I seek to build those same opportunities for others. Some are looking for economic opportunity. Some want to experience more of recreation, culture or nature. Some are hoping to start new friendships or get involved in community organisations. And some are on hardtimes so need a hand up. Wherever our residents are at, I want everyone to have to be able to build an amazing life in our community.
I also want all residents to have the opportunity to shape Grande Prairie. I invest time showing up to community events, engaging online, and meeting for coffees to hear about your experiences and ideas. I also continuously advocate for both Council and City Administration to enhance communication and engagement. I want to continue the work of making it easier to know about and have input into the conversations at City Hall.
Serving on City Council has been a tremendous privilege. I hope you will let me continue taking part in this work. Let’s work hard together to connect with our community and build a fantastic Grande Prairie.
