Who I am
My name is Allan Hoefsloot and I am running for Division 6 Councillor for Parkland County. As an active member of our farming and industrial community I am passionate about ensuring the long term economic and environmental viability for future generations.
My wife and I moved here twenty years ago and have proudly raised our family in Tomahawk. We have a farm and raise red angus beef cattle along with growing forage crops on several quarters.
The rural way of life is important to me as a father, a grandfather and an active community member.
In addition to farming I also work in the oil and gas industry. I bring many years of experience in road construction, gravel business, city water and sewer systems and subdivision developments.
I am aware of the nature of the position and with my previous council experience feel that I can make a positive impact if elected.
My top priorities if elected:
Creation and retention of jobs in our community
Agriculture sustainability and water management
Respect for the environment
Culturally sensitive approaches to current issues
I welcome the opportunity to discuss my perspectives and qualifications for this position.
