Tyler Olsen, Bill Smith, re-elected as Reeve and Deputy Reeve for MD of Greenview

The MD of Greenview has announced the re-election of Ward Nine Councillor Tyler Olsen as Reeve and Ward Eight Councillor Bill Smith as Deputy Reeve for the year.

Reeve Tyler Olsen is a longtime resident of Grande Cache and is described as bringing a wealth of experience from his industrial and commercial trucking background; however, his colleagues say his commitment to his community extends beyond municipal politics, having served for more than 21 years as a volunteer firefighter.

Olsen continues to serve as Captain of Greenview Fire Rescue Services in Grande Cache, and officials say his deep dedication to public service is evident in both his role as a firefighter and as a councillor for the MD.

I am honoured to be re-elected as Reeve and thank my fellow Council members for their trust and support,” he says.

Deputy Reeve Bill Smith is a three-term Councillor for Grovedale, and now enters his fifth term as Deputy Reeve following the election. His colleagues say he brings considerable experience and local knowledge to his role.

Smith is a member of a multi-generational ranching family, and officials say his deep connection to the region is matched by his work ethic. Before joining Greenview Council in 2013, he balanced running his family ranch with a successful career as a self-employed tradesman.

It’s a privilege to serve alongside such a passionate team, and I look forward to another year of working together for the benefit of our communities,” he says. 

Council members say they are looking forward to a “productive year” under the continued leadership of Olsen and Smith.
