Election October 20, 2025
NICE TO MEET YOU. HERE’S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME.
I have been involved in politics since I was old enough to reach the windshield wipers of cars to place campaign literature throughout the city of Lethbridge. I grew up learning how government works and the best ways to advocate for others. Today, I have served as a City Councillor for Airdrie for four years. I have learned a great deal by listening to city staff and, more importantly, fellow citizens.
Since moving to Airdrie in 2007, I have raised my three children and created a life I love with my husband. I am a daughter, a sister, a mother, and a wife. If you are a young family in Airdrie, I get you because I am you.
In addition to my work on council over the past four years, I’ve continued my career in data and information technology, advising organizations ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. I regularly bring professional experience in understanding business challenges and adapting to changing needs to the council chambers.
My true joy comes from connecting with people across Airdrie and knowing their stories. I am enthusiastic about creating inclusive spaces, advocating for those with disabilities and invisible illnesses, and creating platforms for artists and minority organizations within our city.
WHY HEATHER
- I’ll take no decision lightly. I believe that listening to experts, weighing the facts and valuing actual research are critical to decision-making.
- Who better to tackle new ways to reach a goal than a Creative? I’m unafraid to try new things and forge new paths; I’ll be a fresh perspective on council.
- Women and youth of Airdrie deserve equal representation. I understand the load of motherhood and juggling a career. The needs of families in Airdrie have expanded along with our population growth. Our city services should reflect our size but they are seriously lacking. Organizations that support women and children deserve a more prominent seat at the municipal table. Homelessness, and particularly youth homelessness, needs to be a priority.
- I approach everyone with compassion and empathy and encourage others to focus on doing the same. When we know each other’s stories, we can make better decisions for the whole community.
