Hello and welcome,

 

I'm Samanntha Wright, Councillor for Division 4 of Rocky View County, and I am proud to say this is my second term in office. 

​

Many people dismiss municipal politics as being the rinky-dink level politics. and while I understand that perspective, it is my belief that it is the local level of government that has the most impact on your day-to-day life.  Sure, we aren't making decisions on big ticket items like health care, education or national defense, but what we are doing is making the decisions on how your community develops and what happens in and around your backyard. 

 

Despite what was a less than stellar experience in my first-term, not being one to give up, I ran again to try and make the changes that I believe this County deserves.  I am happy to say that this is happening. 

​

Fiscal responsibility, transparency and accountability are key to effective governance, in my opinion, and this Council is working to provide all of those things. We are closer than ever to creating an Aggregate Resource Plan, and the  Bearspaw Area Structure Plan review will be coming to Council shortly for a decision.  I am also proud to say that relationships with our municipal neighbours are improving and we are establishing ourselves as regional leaders.

​

I have lived in the north end of Bearspaw with my husband, 3 children, 3 dogs and 2 cats for the past 18 years.  When I'm not in Council, you will find me gardening, working out, reading, crocheting or doing a puzzle.
