Community
Municipal Election –
My Dear Reddeerians,
today ville has asked me to share why I have decided to run a second term for City Council? This is a great question and one that has complex roots. In order for you to better appreciate my passion for this City I feel it necessary to share the following:
Experience
I have enjoyed over 50 years as a Red Deer resident. I am married to Red Deer native Betty for 26 years and am the father of two daughters who were born and completed their K to 12 education in Red Deer. From a business perspective I come from an entrepreneurial family and have worked for national corporations (Jim Pattison, Home Depot and Eye Recommend) all in Senior Management positions. From a Community perspective I am a current Director of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Past Board Chair for Red Deer Public Schools, Past Board Chair of the Red Deer & District Chinese Community Society and currently serve on five community committees or Boards.
Focused
Is the decision I am making improving Red Deer as a City? Throughout my first term on Council this is my litmus test. I make decisions which reflect the views of my constituents and support the development of the City as a whole. I support vibrancy which reflects the dynamic history of Red Deer along with a cultural mosaic representative of a growing municipality. “Big Picture” for me is key not just reacting to pressure points.
Community Building
By building and maintaining healthy relationships with all orders of government I am able to continuously advocate for our community. Effective utilization of these partnerships to address common issues incorporating innovation and creativity as tools. Reviewing current policy and practices to ensure appropriate taxation, Council accountability and effective municipal operations via administration. And I am dedicated to keeping our City safe and healthy – incorporating an interdisciplinary model to address crime, homelessness, our environment and resiliency in our youth.
I am running because I believe in Red Deer, I am invested in where are as a City and where we can be in the future. Red Deer has given so much to me and my family that I just can’t help but want to give back.
The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation has announced the winners of the 2024 Red Deer Hospital Lottery Dream Home and Tiny Home prize packages, as well as the Mega Bucks 50.
The Mega Bucks 50 jackpot reached $607,200.00, which makes Carolyn Pelerine of Cochrane, Alberta the winner of $303,600.00.
In addition, the luxurious Tree Hugger Tiny Home Prize Package, complete with accessories by Urban Barn and valued at $163,798.00, is now owned by Mary Vincent of Red Deer.
The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.
The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.
“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
Now, during this momentous chapter in our history, we invite you to join us for the Grand Opening of the Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence.
