Allan Wilson
Running for: Lacombe County Division 6 Councillor
In 1936, my grandparents established our farm within the Rainy Creek community, just South-West of Bentley, AB. My family has been in this location ever since, allowing me to become a third generation farmer. Together with my wife, Candace, and our two adult children, we continue to operate a cattle and grain farm.
We have been involved in our community for over 30 years in the various organizations listed below, as either members or volunteers. Rural and community values have always held high importance to me and I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to represent the constituents of Division 6 in the County of Lacombe.
