Board Chair
Town of Red Water
Dwayne has over 25 years of experience as a small business owner and is active in his community as a youth leader, mentor, and coach/ referee of several sports for teens.
Dwayne was elected to Redwater Council in a by-election in 2018.
Dwayne observes that for many, the “golden years” are not seen as such. Seniors need to have quality housing, supports, programs and services that enhance their quality of life so that these can be their “golden years,” which is why he chose to be a board member.
In his spare time, Dwayne loves to play any sport, particularly team sports. Mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, and camping in the mountains are favorite things to do. Time with family and
our first grandchild are precious.

Town of Westlock
Ralph was born and raised in Westlock. After a 37-year career in the operations and management of the electrical system with TransAlta Corporation he and his wife MaryAnne returned home to look after their aging parents. He was elected as the Mayor of Westlock October 2013
Ralph and MaryAnne life together revolve around family. They have 3 children and 7 grandchildren that live nearby. We enjoy camping, gardening, adventures and being together.
Ralph believes strongly in the adage that the community raises the child. Many of the seniors that reside with Homeland Housing are the moms, dads, aunties, uncles, friends and neighbours that helped raise me. Being on the Board with Homeland Housing allows me to give back to them.
“I know they are counting on me to look after them and provide the services and supports for a high quality of life.” I take that seriously.
