Lorna Villeneuve

​

I am very honoured to have been nominated. I am the Executive Assistant for the ADM, Ministry
Services Office, Alberta Energy. I started with Alberta Energy in 2006. I am originally from Saskatchewan
and enjoyed 27 years with the Government of Saskatchewan.

I am honoured to be a recipient of two Premiers Awards: Cumberland House Flood Evacuation in
Saskatchewan (2005) and Fort McMurray Fire Evacuation (2016). I also received the Spirit Award of
Distinction from the United Way which I have been involved with for the past 16.5 years.
Looking back at my career in the Public Service, I specifically remember a mentor say, “you don’t let that
phone ring twice”, that was before voice mail.

Outside of work, I love fishing, hunting, and travelling with my husband and walking with my dog Dalton.
I have two adult children (boys) and two grandchildren (also boys) who bring me immense joy and
laughter.
