Meet Andy Wakaruk
As a lifelong resident of Ward 5, I’ve had the privilege of learning about the ever-changing needs of our community. I’ve worked in the agriculture, oil and gas, and construction industries and served as an elected official in municipal government.
I’ve served on many community boards and committees such as the Bonnyville Regional Fire Authority, the Beaver River Watershed Alliance, the Agricultural Service Board, and the M.D. of Bonnyville’s Standing Policy Review Committee. As a former Councillor, I understand the responsibility of serving the best interest of our people.
