Kyle Schole

Since graduating from the University of Calgary and interning for the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Ottawa in 2015, Kyle has accrued nearly a decade of progressive municipal planning experience, beginning in his hometown of Westlock, then the City of Lacombe, five years with Smoky Lake County, and most recently, Sturgeon County.
