Mayerthorpe AB Mayor @ Coucil

 

Mayerthorpe AB Mayor @ Coucil


Mayor Janet Jabush

Email: janet.jabush@mayerthorpe.ca 

I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve as Mayerthorpe’s Mayor for another four years. It’s been challenging, rewarding and very enjoyable.

I remain committed to advancing the interests of our community. Sustainable economic development and advocacy with regional and provincial stakeholders are always front of mind. Our administration and new Council are focused on essential local and regional initiatives that support economic development.

When I’m not busy doing “Mayor Stuff”, you’ll find me with my family or, in the summer, riding my motorcycle. I also enjoy reading (something other than agenda packages), listening to music, Avengers movies (my not-so-guilty pleasure) and star-gazing.

In the fall of 2020, I successfully ran for the Towns West Director’s position with AUMA. Those duties add to an already busy schedule. I also Chair the Board of our local REDA, GROWTH Alberta, as well as our town’s Health Retention Committee. My other committee appointments include the Northern Alberta Mayors & Reeves Caucus, the Subdivision Development Appeal Board, and the IDP & ICF Committees.

I’m still humbled to be our town’s Mayor. It’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly, and I’ll always do my very best to represent the best of our town and to deserve your trust.

My family is the reason I do what I do, and I owe them my thanks.

 

Councillor Rebecca Wells

Email: rebecca.wells@mayerthorpe.ca 

I grew up North of Stony Plain on an acreage, moved to Slave Lake, Whitecourt and seven years ago my husband Rick and I bought our home in Mayerthorpe. I love living in Mayerthorpe as it still has a small town feel to it. I am a mother of five and two are my husband’s from a previous marriage but as I like to call them, children from another mother. No grandchildren yet for us, however we have two bulldogs and one cat. I love camping and we have a seasonal lake lot at Slave Lake. I love fishing yet I won’t touch them, Rick is my fish hero for taking them off my fishing Rod all the time. I enjoy curling and have learned so much about farming/ranching from being a part of Mayerthorpe’s curling community.

My background is in Social Work, I have been the Executive Director at Wellspring Family Resource & Crisis Centre for the last 8 and half years. I have been on many committees and Boards throughout this time. I appreciate the time and dedication that our Mayerthorpe volunteers do for this community.

I look forward to serving and assisting the Town continue to grow and develop. There are so many great opportunities that Mayerthorpe has to offer, my hope is that others will see it too through development and enhancing the services we have.

Councillor Anna Greenwood

Email: anna.greenwood@mayerthorpe.ca  

I am excited to be returning to council for another term. I believe Mayerthorpe is a great town and I look forward to collaborating with the rest of council, as we work towards making it become even better.

I was born and raised on a multi-generational family farm north of Sangudo. I am proud to be the third generation of my family involved in politics at various levels.

 I moved to Mayerthorpe in 1983 and began my teaching career. I remained at Elmer Elson Elementary for over 35 years, until my retirement in 2018. During that time, I taught multiple grades and served as assistant principal and principal.

Over the years I have been involved in our community in many ways, particularly with various sports groups. I have also been involved with community groups such as: Citizen’s Advisory Committee, Community Services Board and Youth Justice Committee.

Mayerthorpe is my home and I want to make it the best place to live, not only for myself but for everyone in the community. I want our town to be sustainable and grow by becoming the community of choice for new families and businesses.

Councillor Pat Burns

Email: pat.burns@mayerthorpe.ca 

I have lived in and around Mayerthorpe for over 50 years. I have owned 6 lots in town. I have built 3 homes for myself and family in town.  My mother and father built the Lariat Restaurant, they ran the Lariat Restaurant , Shamrock Flower Shop, and the Mayerthorpe Upholstery Shop.

I have had a business in town for almost 40 years, PTB Contracting (Carpentry). I have a Journeyman Carpentry Ticket RSE.

I have 1 Wife, 3 Children, 4 Grandchildren, 3 Dog Children, 3 Cat Children, 1 Son-In-Law, and 2 Daughter-In-Laws.

I enjoy volunteering, hunting, fishing, gardening, and vintage cars & trucks.

Councillor Sandy Morton

Email: sandy.morton@mayerthorpe.ca 

I am so excited to be starting my 8th year on council!!

During this term I hope to continue improving communication to our residents, encouraging youth and doing the research necessary to make informed decisions for our municipality.

I have learned so much during my learning curve and feel ready to take on new challenges. I have completed several AUMA courses, law seminars, PD at conferences, U of A Indigenous course, participated in the Blanket Ceremony and been a member of several boards and committees. I am amazed at the work being done by so many to make our community and neighborhood the best it can be.

I am a wife and mother who has been happily married for 46 years to my husband, Rob and we have one son, Drew. I am a retired teacher who was lucky enough to have a job for 39 years that I absolutely loved. I am a graduate of the University of Western Ontario (B.A, B.Ed.) I taught in Ontario, Africa (Lesotho) and Jasper. Twenty-eight of my teaching years were in Sangudo (David Ovans Elementary School and Sangudo Community School)

There will always be threats to the community that have to be overcome but the opportunities we have to build, expand and work together on new projects are exciting.

I am very interested in traveling, reading, music, writing, live theatre, cooking, and spending time with my family.

I know we will be faced with new challenges but with the rest of the council team I feel we are ready to face whatever may come.

Councillor Esther Sonnenberg

Email: esther.sonnenberg@mayerthorpe.ca 

I have a BSC in Biology and Physiotherapy and a Certificate in Massage Therapy.  I have been working in Mayerthorpe for over twenty years and half those years in my current location on main street at Esther's Healing Center.  I am completing my first book called, "The Esther Challenge: Soak Yourself Healed and live AWED (Aging With Excellence and Dignity)." 
I strive to help all those who come to me for therapy to give them not only healing of the current injury but also understanding of how the body compensates for the injury.  We all compensate for wounds in ways that show up in new patterns of  movement, breath, and thought.  I think of this as a roadmap that needs to be followed and worked on to truly heal.  This is especially true when the wounds have been to the spirit.
I see that we as a community have wounds and hurts that still color new decisions and fuel the knee jerk reaction to protect from the next wound or the poking of the bruise.  I will strive to be an example of how our community can let go of previous animosity live AWED.

We're finally reached the point where the public acknowledges there is a problem and is searching for a solution

We're finally reached the point where the public acknowledges there is a problem and is searching for a solution  

 More men and women can see they've been deceived and everything is a FRAUD!!!There's been an amazing shift with many great men and women now discussing and promoting the SOLUTION! They realize the world is controlled by an Unlawful system and we must work together to correct the system that was never designed to serve our interests. 


You're invited to join and help spread this important information further! Months ago we started a collaborative alliance, to spread the same message and to mentor others willing to step up to the plate and become leaders by using a simple plan that begins by approaching their municipal Governments and bringing them back into the Public realm.Epic things are happening, men and women are stepping up to help others advance from the legalese (weasel words), or regurgitated nonsense, to finally come to the conclusion that there is NO contract with Fictional entities. 

  

Reversing the "INDOCRINATION", starting projects that actually inspire them to join, and add their input to achieve what all of us want-an accountable system, A future, and Most of all restoring TRUE LAW 

  

and we're just getting started... 

 

 A video update on our project here was broadcasted in Britain and has inspired our fellow brothers and sisters across the Atlantic Ocean – Laura Nina has Shelagh McFarlane Live in England. 

https://rumble.com/v413w4n-laura-nina-has-shelagh-mcfarlane-live-today-in-england.html

Zoom 5-10 EST daily https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6945489985?pwd=UllwRmwzRUhWS2pXUWNQODNEbnhSZz09 SwT80SwT80CThis private group is for those who are ready to go through a process to unleash their True Power, connect with educated, critical thinkers for guidance, clear their blockages, clearly articulate your gift, share your passion with the world, and guide others to their brilliance.Currently, there are incredible men and women behind the scenes that I’m honored to call my friends who are starting to create miracles.Men and women are starting to lead movements for Solutions that are helping many overcome the sense of helplessness we've experienced in the last few years to a problem that escalates. We can now say  with conviction "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" and we're fully aware and willing to take responsibility for conducting our own affairs in our City Halls. 

The practice of Voting and following Political Parties are being called out for what they are a SCAM and a FRAUD and like a cancer they eat  and destroy the free man as our natural Unalienable rights are removed. 

 Men and Women are their own Masters and NO one has Authority over you – You as an Individual may consent or Not to what you want to pay services for! 

  

The Crown own nothing, the Land belongs to all men and women  

 

The maxim of Law is – if laws DO NOT APPLY EQUALLY THERE IS NO LAW “that is the nonsense we been subjected to because of Private contracts of fiction created by a few to enslave us.  

 The disorders of the fiction of democracy, direct democracy, fascism, dictatorships are crumbling as more move into truth, facts and become educators of the SOLUTION!Inside this process, you are invited to embody a core and principal truth:It’s all about your energy, compassion and MOST IMPORTANT it is about you helping others to achieve their TRUE POTENTAL ! 


When you watch Shelagh McFarlane notice how she pours her heart, soul, energy, and commitment into inspiring others! 

Harness that energy to fuel your own fire, we're all in the same battle. Silence is CONSENT 

 There is an army out there for truth looking to be connected!As you shift your energy, you shift your life, and you shift the world.The energy you embody, when properly harnessed, can facilitate life-changing transformations for other men and women.When you know, how awesome you are, and what you really have to bring to the world, when you're able to clearly articulate it....that's when a whole new world opens up for you.We're picking up momentum, and I'm currently inviting people who are ready to step into a new standard of excellence in their lives.If you resonate with this message and you'd like to hear more...Watch the latest update and invitation video here and share pleasePS.
