MLA Eric Rosendahl, West Yellowhead

God, thank you for Eric’s passion for his community. He could be enjoying retirement by stepping away from years of career work and volunteerism, but instead, he is willingly serving West Yellowhead as an MLA. This speaks volumes about the passion he has for his community. I pray you would channel his passion into great leadership, positive change, and especially as a legacy to the next generation of leaders who are currently looking to him.
