Council
Jerry Buchko
I am Jerry Buchko, and I am pleased to announce my candidacy for Town Council. As a native of small-town Saskatchewan, I possess an innate understanding of the essential elements required to foster a thriving community. Having resided in Westlock since 2002, I have developed a profound appreciation for our town and its residents.
Following a fulfilling 31-year career as an educator, I am now eager to embark on a new challenge. My motivation for seeking a position on Town Council stems from my enduring commitment to enhancing the quality of life in Westlock. Throughout my time in Westlock, I have actively contributed to various community initiatives, including the establishment of a high school football team in 2006, collaborating with local partners to install permanent lighting at the football field, producing five successful seasons of 'Rock Of Ages' performances at the CATS Theatre, officiating minor hockey and football games, and participating in the Westlock Events Committee.
As the fundraising member of the Westlock Football Association, I have had the pleasure of interacting with numerous business owners, non-profit organizations, and community volunteers, with whom I look forward to continuing to work closely if elected. If given the opportunity to serve on Town Council, I am confident that my passion for community development, combined with my experience and leadership skills, will enable me to make a positive impact in Westlock.
