My siblings’ names are from oldest to youngest Kevin, Clarence, Riel, Mark, Myself, Colin, and my only sister Gloria. I Was born in Fort McMurray in the St Gabriel hospital December 07, 1962, and have lived in Fort McMurray all my life, I went to Father Turcotte OMI Elementary school for grades 1-5, then to St. Johns Junior high grades 6-9 followed by Composite High school grades 10-12 graduating in 1981. When I was in high school, I had a strong interest in the Carpentry trade and graduated with enough hours for first year apprentice, unfortunately there was a downturn in the economy, and I took what work I could get. I was working as a contractor at Syncrude Canada when I was hired permanently in December of 1986 where I eventually started my Automotive technician career, I then moved into the team leader position and was later transferred to Aurora to open the Automotive shop there as well as performing the duties as hiring manager for our department. I then changed my career path and became a part of procurement/Supply chain as the Indigenous Business liaison where I worked for the last 11years growing our Indigenous spend from 140 million per year to 1.3 billion until my retirement on January 31.2023. I met and married my beautiful wife Karina who is from the Isle of Mann and grew up in Manchester England in 2000 and we had our only child Declan Shadowhawk Webb in 2001. Karina works as councilor in the school system, currently at Dave McNeilly until her retirement this year at the end of June. Although we have travelled and continue to do so we both plan to stay in Fort McMurray for some time as we love it here. As a Member of the Fort McMurray Metis #1935 and a community member I feel strongly about our place in Fort McMurray and helping others where I can. I believe I have some insight into the Syncrude/Suncor operations as well as history in the region having lived here all my life. My son Declan is attending the University of Alberta as an engineering student and has been a recipient of the bursary award and therefore it is important that we show our appreciation by helping and sharing where we can. I have played many sports throughout my life including track and field, racquet ball, triathlon, Squash, working out at the gym and boxing but have found a strong passion for golf and still play today and is one of the things I look forward and enjoy in my recent retirement.
