Laura Frank

Laura is a fourth generation Albertan.  Her original rural routes and connections to southern Alberta go back to her maternal great-grandfather who came to Alberta in the early 1900’s to start a law practice and to purchase land in the region.  Laura’s paternal great-grandparents also came to Alberta in the early 1900’s where they farmed and ranched in the High River area.

Her passion for the mountains and the eastern slopes of the Rockies stem from time spent with her maternal grandparents who farmed and ranched a small operation in the Longview area and who had a deep connection to the mountains.

She recently moved from Calgary onto her maternal grandparents homeplace with her husband.  She has a Bachelor of Applied Communications – Public Relations and has worked for the better part of the last decade in various communication roles in government and in Alberta’s energy sector.  Laura has extensive volunteer experience including student mentorship through Mount Royal University and has served many years on the Calgary Stampede 4-H Rodeo Committee, including the role of Chair.
