At the Organizational
Meeting of Smoky Lake County held on October 30th, Craig was proudly elected as
the Reeve of the County.
Reeve Lukinuk has been
a resident of Smoky Lake County since 1996. In 2002 he opened Rivers Edge
Computers in the Town of Smoky Lake. He was elected in 2013 and served two
terms with Smoky Lake County Council until 2021.
Following his initial
election, he chose to close his computer business, which he had founded in
2002, to dedicate his full attention to serving as the councillor for Division
3. During his eight years on Council, he served the last 5 years as Reeve, up
until 2021. In the 2021 election, Craig narrowly lost by only four votes, a
result he chose not to contest. After leaving his roles as Division 3
Councillor and Reeve, he reopened Rivers Edge Computers to once again provide
valued services to the community. He is pleased to share that the business will
remain open and will continue serving residents moving forward.
Reeve Lukinuk feels
deeply honored to once again serve as the Reeve of Smoky Lake County. He
extends his sincere gratitude for the trust and support of the community and
looks forward to the years ahead.
In addition to his
responsibilities as Reeve, he serves as a member, alternate, and director on
several boards and committees, including Alberta’s Lakeland Destination
Management Organization (DMO), the Alberta Care Board, Evergreen Regional Waste
Management Commission, the Highway 28/63 Regional Water Services Commission,
the Intermunicipal Collaboration Committees for both the Smoky Lake Region and
Thorhild County, the Northern Lights Library System Board, Physicians and
Healthcare Professionals Committee, the Regional Community Development
Committee (RCDC), the Regional Emergency Management Advisory Committee, the
Risk Pro Management Committee, the Smoky Lake Heritage Board, the Smoky Lake
Foundation, and the Ukrainian Twinning Committee.
Sincerely,
Craig Lukinuk
Smoky Lake County
