MEET CHERYL
DAWES
I am excited to be running for Parkland County Division 4 Councillor. Parkland County has been my home for more than 30 years, and this community means everything to me. I offer a perspective shaped by my farm upbringing. My understanding of farm needs ensures agricultural interests are represented in decision-making.
I am a retired teacher from Blueberry School, where I had the privilege of working with local families and helping young people grow. Now retired, I believe it’s time to give back to the community that has given so much to me. My vision is simple: building rural strength for today and tomorrow – because DAWES DOES RIGHT, I AM YOUR VOICE!
