FOR COUNCIL

David Johnson, P.Geo., PhD

Personal Statement

I seek your support in running for Council. I am a geoscientist with more than 35 years of professional geoscience experience as an explorer, a research scientist, a consultant, and an entrepreneur. I have practised in the petroleum industry in Alberta, the Canadian frontiers, and petroleum provinces around the globe. I am an analytically oriented, and a lateral to out-of-the-box thinker, who is inclined to take on difficult challenges. I see professional self-regulation as a trust granted by the people of Alberta. I believe in the kind of strong governance that recognizes that responsibility lies with individuals, and that policy provides a framework for channeling human endeavours to constructive ends. I see legislation as structure in the fabric of society and recognize that a good cloth needs to be: flexible while providing structure; able to breathe while providing protection; protective while not chafing.
