Who are you? Amber Deacon
Age: 28
Occupation: Receptionist at Sunshine Lodge and Cottages.
How long have you lived in Drumheller? Twenty-eight years and counting.
What is your favourite part about the valley? The weather for sure. I love the sunshine and the summers are usually hot. I also like our fairly mild winters.
Anything you don’t like? Just that Drumheller is such a busy place during the summer time. There are so many visitors! It can make it more difficult to get around.
What is the best part of your job? I love interacting with the seniors. They always have fascinating stories and I’m glad I get to hear them.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why? Telepathy would be neat. I’d like to know what people are thinking sometimes and it would make communication a lot easier.
Where would your dream vacation be? I would love to visit Australia. Seeing all the different animals would be interesting, in particular the koala bear. They are adorable.
What is the one thing you are most afraid of in this world? Bugs. Bugs in general! I just don’t like the fact that they are creepy and crawly.
What has been the best moment of your life so far? I’ve had two. The day I was married was wonderful. The day I had my son Alex, who is two now, was also very special.
If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be? I think I would have to choose fruit. It’s tastes good and it’s healthy for you.
What is the best book you’ve ever read? The Colors of Darkness by James Patterson. It’s a great mystery and keeps you guessing right to the end.
What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Follow your dreams.
