I want to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who supported our campaign from Elbow Valley, Springbank, and especially my beloved community of Bragg Creek as well as those outside of Rocky View County (RVC). Your support and encouragement have meant the world to me, and I will forever cherish the moments we had to interact and get to know each other.

I especially want to send a heartfelt thank you to my dedicated and determined campaign team, whose tireless efforts made our journey memorable. I am particularly grateful to my wonderful wife, whose unwavering support and love have been my strength throughout this campaign.

Congratulations to Kevin Hanson on his win in the Rocky View County Division 1 election. I wish him success as he takes on the many responsibilities ahead. I hope he will take this victory and work even harder to serve Bragg Creek residents and address their needs as we grow.

Although this outcome wasn’t what my team, supporters and I hoped for, my commitment to our community remains strong. I promise to be on the sidelines, as always, ready to support and keep

our councillor and the new Rocky View Council accountable and ethical. Together, let’s continue to work towards a better future for our community.

Please feel free to reach out to me for any guidance or if you need to share your thoughts. I’m a good listener and always willing to help a fellow resident in need.

Until we meet again, live healthy and hug your kids. Cheers, mark.
