Meet Mark Cassidy

Mark Cassidy, a lifelong resident of St. Albert and a dedicated community member, is running for city councillor in the upcoming municipal elections. With a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents and promoting family values, Mark is eager to bring his extensive experience and passion for community service to the council.

Having lived in St. Albert for over 60 years and raised his blended family in this vibrant city, Mark understands the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and engagement among families.

With over 32 years of experience as a successful realtor, Mark has comprehensive insights into the local housing market and the needs of families. Approximately 30 years ago, he developed two duplexes in West Braeside and 18 dwellings of duplexes and triplexes in mature Lacombe Park—projects designed to blend seamlessly into the single-family neighborhoods.

These developments reflect Mark's commitment to creating inclusive and affordable housing solutions that respect and enhance St Albert's community character.

In addition to his professional background, Mark also managed a local golf course. His work ethic, demonstrated by years of dedication from sunup to sundown, has equipped him with the skills necessary to serve the community full-time as a councillor.

Now that he is retired, he is fully prepared to commit the time and energy necessary to the betterment of St. Albert.

Mark's commitment to youth development is evident through his active involvement in sports for his children’s upbringing. He understands how teamwork, discipline, and resilience can shape responsible citizens and believes that investing in youth sports is crucial for fostering a sense of community.

As a council member, I will leverage AI initiatives to tackle St. Albert's traffic congestion. By implementing smart traffic management systems and predictive analytics, we can optimize traffic flow, reduce wait times, and enhance public transportation.

These innovative solutions aim to create a more efficient and connected community for all residents.

As a father who has coached and volunteered, I've seen the transformative benefits of youth engagement in sports. My campaign emphasizes fostering teamwork, discipline, and resilience.

By supporting local sports programs, we cultivate a strong sense of community and help our youth grow into responsible citizens, promoting a brighter future!

In St. Albert, our cultural heritage is deeply intertwined with the legacy of Father Albert Lacombe (1827–1916), a pioneering Oblate missionary and peacemaker.

The new St. Albert naming policy allows anyone across Canada to propose name changes with just 50 signatures, threatening our rich heritage. I will fiercely protect and preserve our community's legacy!
