Ms. Rachel Notley - MLA for Edmonton-Strathcona

Lord, we are reminded that it is You who has given us this day and we pray for MLA Ms. Rachel Notley that she would have joy as she goes through her day.  Thank You for the sincere care she shows towards her constituents and may she have divine insight and understanding as to how to meet their needs and make the Albertans she serves successful.  Bless her in her work and in her leisure.  In Christ’s name,  Amen.

Leader of the ND Opposition

Rachel Notley was elected as the Leader of the Alberta New Democrats on October 18, 2014. She grew up in Fairview, Alberta, and is the daughter of former Alberta ND leader Grant Notley and his wife Sandy.

Having grown up in a passionate political family that believed in the importance of building a fairer, more inclusive society, Rachel was naturally drawn to work to make her home province better, and first ran for election for the Alberta New Democrats in Edmonton-Strathcona in 2008. She was re-elected in 2012.

Rachel holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Alberta, and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School. She has worked for a variety of labour unions in both Alberta and British Columbia and served as a ministerial advisor to British Columbia's Attorney General in the 1990s. Rachel's work during her legal career focused on labour law, workers' compensation advocacy and workplace health and safety issues.

Rachel lives in Edmonton's Old Strathcona neighbourhood, along with her husband Lou and their two children Ethan and Sophie.
