Congratulations to Sandra Jansen PC Representative for Calgary-NW!

Congratulations to Jason Luan PC Representative for Calgary Hawkwood!

Dear Friends,

It is with mixed emotions that I send this message to you. I have decided that in the best interests of my family and myself I will not run as the candidate for Calgary Northwest.

I have truly enjoyed the work that we have done together "To Make A Difference" in the seven communities of Calgary North West. I made the promise to many constituents, that I would not be a career politician, I would be a strong and effective voice for them and would not let them down.

My family has supported me wholeheartedly over the last four years and have made many sacrifices, so that I could do my job. However that has meant that I have been away from home a lot and realize my children are now 13 and 11 and need me to be around more.

This is a decision that has taken about six months to arrive at and is not taken lightly. I am proud of our accomplishments and would like thank our Premier, The Honourable Alison Redford and Ed Stelmach for the opportunities they have given me to serve Albertans.

I know this may come as a shock to many of you and for that I am indeed sorry.

Thank you for all of you.

Sincerely,

Lindsay Blackett
