Lionel Frey has announced he will be running for city council in the upcoming municipal election.
Frey has lived off and on in Grande Prairie since 1974, during that time he has worked for non-profits such as the Mustard Seed sitting on their advisory committee. This will be his first time running in the municipal election.
Frey says if he is elected, he wants to make sure the city stays on the right path when managing growth.
“My big thing is to ensure the growth is managed.”
Frey is very passionate with economic development within the city. Frey says that no decision made in council should be easy.
“Approach any decision with a measured response. I think you need to have the facts and data in front of you to make sound decisions, I think for me if I am elected, I want to make sure I do my research on any issue that comes up big or small.”
The municipal election is set for October 20th.
