Community Friends,

Thank you for the responsibility and honour of serving as your Mayor. Over the past four years I have determinedly worked with you and for you to make our Red Deer a better place to live for all who call our city home.

The upcoming election marks the beginning of our new opportunities to build on the foundation and momentum we have established as a community. Our Red Deer is a city of possibilities, and I am asking to continue to actively pursue Red Deer’s possibilities with you. Together we have accomplished many things and we have much to be proud of, but there remains more work to be done to address the challenges we are faced with and to realize our full community potential.

Throughout my public service I have consistently listened intently to the will of the people, and I have chosen you and what I have believed to represent your best interests in my daily decision-making. I am asking you to choose me through a renewed mandate on October 16th so that we can continue to build citizen-minded local government, address challenges, and pursue community opportunities together.

As always, please feel free to contact me if you would like to share your thoughts on City issues or if I may be of assistance to you with any City matter. If you would like more information regarding my Mayoral leadership record and my 2017 platform, please visit www.veerforreddeer.ca.

Proud to be your fellow Red Deerian,

Tara

Red Deer Regional Health Foundation

When you purchase tickets for Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50, you do more than just play—you become part of something bigger. You help bridge the gap between what government funding provides and what your hospital truly needs to deliver exceptional care.

Your support helps fund state-of-the-art equipment that doctors and nurses need right now to care for patients across Central Alberta. While plans for the hospital expansion move forward, healthcare doesn’t wait. Patients in our community need access to life-saving technology today, and your generosity makes that possible.

This year’s lottery will fund essential new and replacement equipment, ensuring your hospital can continue to serve the 500,000 people who rely on it. When you purchase your ticket, you’re investing in innovation, excellence, and a healthier future for Central Alberta.
