Shannon Laprise
Division 1 Councillor
Living, farming, and raising our three children in Wheatland County is a privilege that has allowed me to learn a lot about country living and the importance of community. My husband, Brian, and I moved to his family’s farm in 2007 after his parents retired to Strathmore. The Laprise family has lived in the Cluny area for more than 100 years, and I am excited to continue their legacy of community involvement.
Before I met Brian, I worked in Calgary as a Management Consultant and a Business Analyst for KPMG Consulting and Fortis Alberta. With this experience, I have learned to look for ways to improve processes and find cost savings. I am a detailed planner, a team player, an excellent communicator, and open and responsive to issue resolution. In addition, I am an excellent researcher and I strive towards continuous learning and development.
As an active volunteer, I am dedicated to supporting my community and my children’s activities, including Wheatland Community Enhancement and the Cluny Lions Club. I am the President of my daughter’s skating club, CAHL hockey Governor, and a school council Secretary.
I am hardworking, accountable, and I promise to research the issues and consult with stakeholders, wherever possible. I am approachable, responsive, and I welcome an inclusive and open relationship with the County’s citizens and neighbours.
