It’s me, Candisse
I consider myself a born and raised High Riverite —born at the local hospital, raised in Blackie, and proud to have called this community home for most of my life.
I’m someone who believes in pitching in, supporting local, and looking for solutions instead of dwelling on problems. Whether it’s cheering on local businesses, connecting with neighbours, or speaking up when it matters, I care deeply about the future of High River.
I’m running for Town Council because I love this town and the people who make it such a special place to live.
My Priorities
-
Affordable & Accessible Housing
Championing more affordable housing options for young families, working residents, and our growing community. Supporting new homes both in established neighbourhoods and in areas ready for development, with a focus on quality, long-term sustainability, and thoughtful design that considers accessibility.
-
Community Accessibility and Walkability
Making sure High River is a place where everyone can move around easily and feel welcome. From safe, walkable streets to accessible entrances at local shops, restaurants, and public spaces, I believe our town should be easy to navigate for people of all ages and abilities.
-
Small Business Growth & Longevity
Supporting local entrepreneurs by shifting focus from recovery to sustainable growth. Reducing red tape and encouraging innovation to keep High River’s business community thriving.
-
Thoughtful Growth & Community Connection
I believe growth is a natural and healthy part of any thriving town, and it doesn’t have to mean losing our small-town feeling. To me, that feeling isn’t about population size—it’s about how we show up for each other, get involved, and stay connected as neighbours. I’m committed to encouraging respectful conversations about our future, focusing on transparency, collaboration, and smart growth that keeps High River welcoming and strong for everyone.
