Linda Chapelsky

Linda has been a board member of the Leduc Arts Foundry since its inception.

One of my joys in life is reading to my grandchildren. I am thrilled to be sharing my love of books with the children of our community!

Shawn Raymond

Hi! I’m Shawn Raymond—coach, community guy, and someone who just really loves helping people feel strong, happy, and confident. I run TruFit & Wellness here in Leduc, where we mix fitness with fun and focus on feeling good inside and out. Whether it’s helping someone crush a workout, learn a new skill, or just believe in themselves a little more, that’s what lights me up!

I’ve called Leduc home for almost 27 years, and I care a lot about our community. I have decided to run for city council because I want to be part of building a place where everyone feels included, supported, and inspired to be their best.

I’m super excited to look forward to reading with you. Books and stories have this awesome way of sparking our imagination and creativity —and I think that’s something we all need, no matter how old we are. Looking forward to seeing you then
