Sharla Heistad has been a member of the Innisfail community since 1998 with her husband Jason and three daughters Emma, Claire and Ella. She says that it has been a wonderful journey watching Catholic education grow and become an integral part of both the Innisfail and Olds communities. Olds holds a near and dear place in her heart, as she grew up in the community. Her parents still call Olds home and she is proud to represent the community. She believes in faith-based education and hopes to be a positive voice in supporting Catholic education. Sharla is proud to serve her second term as the QEII Ward Trustee and looks forward to supporting, nurturing and advocating for a strong and vibrant Catholic education system over the next four years.
