Dear God,
You understand all the challenges before Premier Notley. Her challenges are many but your Living Word tells
us that “in abundance of counselors there is victory (deliverance)” (Prov
11:14).
Please
grant Premier Notley the wisdom to surround herself with wise counselors who
understand the times in which we live.
Grant her the courage to do what is “right” before You and what is best
for the people of Alberta.
Amen.
Amen.
Premier
Minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations
Rachel Notley was sworn in as the province’s 17th Premier on May
24, 2015. In addition to her role as Premier she also serves as Minister of

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

election for the Alberta New Democrats in Edmonton-Strathcona in 2008. She was
re-elected in 2012 and again in 2015.
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

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.
