Hon Deron Bilous, Edmonton-Beverly-Clareview


Dear Lord, thank you for Deron. Thank you that he has been able to serve the people of Edmonton-Beverly-Clareview and the entire province as Minister of Economic Development and Trade. I pray that you would give him wisdom, direction, and guidance as he works. I pray you would help him balance family and public life in the year to come. In Jesus name, amen.


Born and raised in Edmonton, Deron Bilous knows the incredible contribution Alberta workers have made to our province and our country. Having grown up in a proudly Ukrainian home, he also appreciates the strength and beauty of our province’s diversity. Between 1995 and 2005 Mr. Bilous worked in Quebec, Tunisia and China on a number of projects with Canada World Youth, a volunteer youth program that focuses on international development. After graduating from the University of Alberta with an education degree in 2001, he taught and mentored students at Edmonton’s Inner City High School, where he learned to see potential where others might see hardship. He also began working in neighbourhood and community development. He was first elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Edmonton-Beverly-Clareview on April 23, 2012, and again on May 5, 2015.  A dedicated champion for Alberta workers and Alberta business, Deron Bilous was sworn in as Minister of Economic Development and Trade on October 22, 2015. Prior to this, he served as Minister of Municipal Affairs and as Minister of Service Alberta.
