About Charlyn

I am proud to call this community home. As a community builder, parent, lifelong volunteer, and seasoned Councillor, I know firsthand the value of community programs, teamwork, and the unwavering commitment of our residents. This village has helped raise my daughter, and in turn, I’ve dedicated myself to giving back to the place that has given us so much.

My track record speaks to the power of collaboration and community building. Whether advocating for the Resident Response Fund or enhancing the Senior Christmas Dinner to ensure it was a truly special celebration, my focus has always been on listening to residents and acting with integrity to improve our shared quality of life.

Leadership You Can Trust

Leadership isn’t about one person taking credit—it’s about empowering others, fostering collaboration, and ensuring every voice is heard. This is the leadership I bring:

  • Open Communication: Bi-monthly updates with media and community members on key projects. Collaboration with staff and stakeholders.

  • Empowerment: Supporting residents, staff, and organizations to lead and succeed through guidance and Governance training.

  • Transparency: Promote fair taxation, transparent leadership, and a respectful, responsive council culture. I’ll lead with integrity and clear communication.

I believe leadership isn’t about going it alone or making decisions in isolation. It’s about working together—across council, administration, and all levels of government to deliver real results.

A Different Choice

You’ve seen me in action. My focus has always been on fostering dialogue, understanding, and cooperation, and I’m proud that together, we’ve reduced the budget, improved essential services, and advanced the projects that matter most.

But there’s more to be done.

If elected mayor, I’ll continue to:

  • Ensure transparent, sustainable governance that plans for the long term.

  • Build a community-focused team where every resident feels they belong and every staff member feels valued.

  • Champion leadership by example: honest, compassionate, and focused on collaboration.

Let’s Go Far, Together

This community raised my daughter, and I want to see future generations thrive here. The old saying goes, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

Lac la Biche County, I want to go far—and I want us all to feel proud of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going.

With your support, we can build a community we’re all proud to call home.
