MLA Wayne Drysdale, Grande Prarie-Wapati

Lord we bring before You today Wayne Drysdale representing Grande Prairie-Wapiti in our legislature.  Grant him great wisdom and knowledge as he serves as Deputy Chair on the Resource Stewardship Standing Committee and participates on the Standing Committee on Private Bills.  Thank you for his previous municipal government experience that has prepared him well to sit in our legislature.  Bless him, his wife Sherry, his daughter Jodie and his two grandchildren.  In Your precious name we pray.  Amen.

Wayne Drysdale was elected to his third term as a Member of the Legislative Assembly for Grande Prairie-Wapiti on May 5, 2015. Prior to serving with the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, Mr. Drysdale spent 15 years as councilor for the municipal district of Greenview and served as chair of both the Agricultural Service Board and the Municipal Planning Commission.  Mr. Drysdale and his wife, Sherry, live on the family farm in the Grande Prairie area. Their daughter, Jodie, along with her husband, Don, and daughters Tory and Sydney also live in the region.
