Another well attended Perogy Supper at the Carvel Hall. Thanks to everyone who attended and supported the organization.

Proud to celebrate with the 20 Parkland County Firefighter Recruit graduates. These individuals have demonstrated incredible dedication and perseverance. Parkland County is fortunate to have such amazing people joining Fire Services.

Along with colleagues from @StonyPlainAB and @citysprucegrove we acknowledged and celebrated the amazing contributions made by the incredible volunteers at #LightUpYourLifeSociety this afternoon.

Thanks to @AndrewBoitchenk for facilitating and hosting an informative discussion with @JordanWalkerAB from Invest Alberta. Looking forward to working together to advance our economies.

@AndrewBoitchenk Thank you Minister @AndrewBoitchenk @ParklandCounty Council looks forward to working with you and the entire @UCPCaucus throughout our term.

@shaigec Congratulations to all the elected officials at the park land county office🤝

This evening, 27 October, Parkland County’s newly elected Council was officially sworn into office. I look forward to working with Council to advance priorities and capitalize on opportunities that support our businesses, residents, and the rural way of life.

I’m back. And I’ve got your back!

Thank you Parkland County. I’m honoured and humbled to have walked this path with all of you.

A very special thank-you goes out to my door-knocking team. You showed up every day with energy, humour, and heart. You laughed with residents, spent time in their homes, witnessed the unexpected, and, for one of you, even endured an experience that led to a hospital visit. /4

On this incredibly important day for Parkland County, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude. First and foremost, thank you to my amazing parents, who instilled in me and my siblings the values that continue to guide us every day. #integrity /1

Council must lead by example and be sensitive to the realities people are facing, especially considering the current affordability crisis. Congrats to all candidates who are seeking to serve community & a big thanks to the election workers in Parkland County. #accountability

Upon resuming office, I will reestablish meaningful communication with residents and the business community. As mayor, and with support from my council colleagues, I will bring forward changes to reduce Council's compensation that was grossly inflated in 2022. #integrity /2

It's Election Day! Reminder that polls are open from 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. If successful in receiving your support and being given the honour to once again serve as Parkland County Mayor, I will work hard to rebuild the trust that's been absent over the past four years. /1

These upgrades will improve quality of life, connect our communities, and drive new business growth. Let’s build a Parkland County that’s future-ready! Let's focus on core services! Check out my plans for infrastructure development at Infrastructure | Political Campaign

Investing in Infrastructure for the Future: The county’s infrastructure needs attention and must keep up with the growing population. That’s why I’m committed to modernizing our roads and investing in high-speed internet access for all residents. /1

Creating meaningful, effective ways to empower residents & businesses to inform Council & administration of their priorities is crucial to building a more sustainable and resilient community - your voice will be heard every step of the way. Learn how rod4mayor.ca/governance

Enhancing Community Engagement: Your voice matters in Parkland County! I believe in transparent leadership & open communication. As mayor, I’ll work to ensure that every resident has a chance to share their ideas, concerns & aspirations for our community. #CommunityEngagement /1

Over the last four years property taxes have been rising, but transparency is missing. I’m committed to restoring trust by making the budgeting process open & understandable. I’ll implement a detailed notice similar to that used in @townofokotoks with links and breakdowns.
