Councillor Anne Grayson

"I was born in 1947 and lived in the Lucknow Ontario area for 30 years. I was an elementary school teacher married to Frank Reigling and we had four children: Craig, Todd, Lisa (Stranaghan) and Mark. In 1977, we moved to Whitelaw Alberta and I have been here in the Fairview area ever since. I have had many jobs such as working at Hotel Dieu (Whitelaw), Long Term Care Home care, Canfor and the Fairview Public Library. I have also taught Kindergarten and playschool. I am now married to Paul Grayson. So now, I am a Mom to four, a step-Mom to four, and Grannie Annie to sixteen grandchildren! I am so lucky. I also volunteer at the Fairview and Area Food Bank (where I am President) and the Fairview Victim Services Unit which works with the RCMP."

I have just finished my first three year term on Fairview Town Council. It was exciting and very informative. I was very lucky to have been appointed to work with the following committees:

1. North Peace Housing

2. Fairview Community Social Services

3. Fairview Aquatic Centre

I am really looking forward to my next three years as I want to keep Fairview a very safe and a very friendly place to live.
