I am and always will be a true advocate for a strong, multi-faceted, sustainable and responsible resource sector in Alberta! We are a powerful provincial economic driver.
I have a background in oil & gas and transportation, I live in a community that relied heavily on the success of our industry, I love our wide open spaces and the ability to step out my back door and enjoy nature directly. I have experienced first hand how Federal and Provincial Policy has had disastrous effects on our region.
We need a robust Agricultural sector, we require a vibrant Forestry and a strong Energy sector. Growth of all our industries and the increased build-out of secondary and value added opportunities are our future. With this growth our service sectors will thrive, and all of these components are critical to the overall vibrancy of our communities. Add to this paying attention to our Tourism, Recreation, Outfitting & Trapping and our wide open spaces. This is what we require for a high rural quality of life that we deserve in the Northwest.
I have direct understanding and connection with the industries of our region. My experience is critical to eliminate barriers and obstacles so what we have can thrive and that we can truly enjoy new advantages. I will work for the benefit of all our communities and people so we in the Northwest can once again successfully work, live, raise a family and look forward to the future in this area that we call home.
