My family and I have lived in Penhold for about 2 years.  When we moved here everyone was so friendly.  I have never been in another town where everyone knows everyone.  It’s a great feeling to be so welcomed.

My Husband, Ray, and I have 2 children.  They are ages 9 and 12 and both attend Penhold School.  I have been employed at the Royal Bank as Customer Service Representative for over a year.  Previous to that I was the Restaurant Manager of Pizza Hut for 7 years.

I am very pleased to have the opportunity to be part of Town Council.  We have so many good things that happen here, especially for our families, such as the Splash park and the up and coming Regional Multiplex.  I have never been in a town that has so much to offer for entertainment. Oktoberfest, Winterfest, the Parent Child Fair and Penhold Days are a few examples, not to mention our very own locally supported Food Bank.  I’m excited about all these programs and projects and I look forward to the future.

If you have any ideas, concerns or just want to chat, please email me.  I would love to hear from you.

My husband Theo and I have lived in Penhold since 2001, and really enjoy the friendly small town atmosphere. We have four children, three of them grown, with the youngest attending River Glen School; we also have two grandchildren.

I am the Manager of Policy, Advocacy and Communications for the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce, work that affords me a tremendous opportunity to advocate policy to all levels of government, and really dig in to issues facing business and families on a regional, provincial and federal basis.

If one really gets to know what is happening in our wonderful little community, it is quite amazing to realize all that we have going on. Our community programming and events are second to none. We have so much to be proud of, and so much to be involved in!

I am Penhold Proud, and I am very excited about all of the projects and plans we have coming on stream. It is my intention to work with the rest of Town Council to make wise decisions based on what is best for the community, after careful consideration and due diligence. I am always interested in receiving input and feedback from community members.

Dennis Cooper, owner of Sky Wings Aviation, resides with his wife and partner, Sherry, and their family in Penhold.  He was raised and educated in Saskatchewan.  He has made Penhold and area his home for the past 27 years.  Dennis has 3 children; 2 sons, Chris and Reg, and a daughter, Samantha.  In Oct 2007 one of his sons made him a grandfather.

Dennis started Sky Wings Aviation Academy Ltd.  In 1982 and has watched it grow from two aircraft in a rented hangar to ten aircraft in three hangars of his own.  Sky Wings offers innovative programs in this industry as a result of Dennis’ entrepreneurism and dedication. His ideas brought forth such programs as Canada’s first brokered Aviation Diploma Program with the Red Deer College, and Aviation Challenge Camp for kids.

Because of his love for the industry and flying itself, he has been actively involved with the Red Deer International Airshow and has been since the first show.  Dennis is also with the Red Deer Flying Club; where he has served as President, and Entertainment Chairman.  Sky Wing’s pet charity is the Red Deer Food Bank Operation Food Lift held at the facility every fall.  Since 1990, Dennis has also been a Director for the Air Transport Association of Canada and in 2001 was appointed Honorary Life Member.  His work with this association keeps him in the forefront of policy making in the aviation industry.  His commitment to the aviation community is what keeps him involved in organizations, with the hopes of improving the quality of life in the aviation community and about bringing meaningful change when necessary.  In 2005 Dennis received the Alberta Centennial Metal for efforts in his field.

Dennis has been an active member in the community.  He has been on the Penhold fire department, a long-standing member of the Penhold Sports Club and has worked with the Chinook’s Edge schools in Penhold.  In the school he has been a guest speaker, and help run metal working class at Sky Wings and since 1997.  He has also supported the Penhold school with the “We fly for A” program in which any students who get an A in grade 7, 8, or 9 get an airplane ride over the town and central Alberta.

Dennis was first elected to council in 1995 to 1998, when he took a 3 years leave of absence. He ran again in 2001, 2004, and 2007 where he was elected to council.  Some of the portfolios he has been on have been Roads and Public Services, Administration, Waskasoo Sewer Committee, Parkland Community Planning, the Annexation team and the Penhold Multiplex Committee.

When Dennis is asked how he has time to run his company and actively participate in the community, he replies “ We try to run a balanced company, not only on the ledger side, but also on the community side.”

I have been a citizen of Penhold since 1975.  Over the years my wife, Linda, and I have had the pleasure of raising our four children in Penhold.  Linda and I both work in Red Deer.

During my time in Penhold, I have been a part of several community groups.  I spent 8 years on the Rec. Board, and 5 years with the Lions Club.  I am now entering my 10th year on Council.
