Wheatland County resident Ginette Motta is running for the Division 6 seat on council in the upcoming municipal election.
Motta has volunteered and served in numerous board positions over the last decade, and running for a position on council has been an interest for nearly 25 years.
“I believe everyone deserves for their voices to be heard, and I won’t shy away from making sure my Division is heard,” Motta said in a press release.
Motta has lived in the Strathmore area for over 25 years, and in the area just off Highway 21 for the last 20 years; she also has post secondary education in Environmental Sciences, specializing in Renewable Resource Management.
With her two children now older, Motta says she feels now is the time to broaden her horizons and expand her involvement in the community. One concern Motta hopes to address is the significant increase of theft within the community, and to look at the true benefits of developments within the community prior to approval.
She is currently the Lead Governor of U13 for the Central Alberta Hockey League, supervising 12 other Governors and looking after 102 U13 teams, and has previously served on the Strathmore & District Minor Baseball board for some eight years.
