8.0 Election of Directors My lifelong career in health spanned a broad range of roles from clinician at Alberta Children's Hospital to senior leadership role in Alberta Health Services. My career highlight was leading the clinical transformational for the largest multi-hospital system implementation in Canada at that time. Now retired from paid work, I have been on the board member of several not-for-profit organizations; Alberta Literacy (now disbanded); Father Lacombe Society Board, (long term care) and most recently Policywise for Children and Families. I have an active role in our family businesses as director and am engaged in fiscal and fiduciary responsibilities. I have the gift of living in the same location as our 2 daughters and their families including 4 grandchildren so spend much time enjoying the richness of extended family. My best moments in life are shared with my husband; especially breakfast on the deck in Canmore, standing on top of a mountain top, my grandchildren, playing tennis at Lions Park on a sunny day, sharing an interesting book with friends. It is my privilege to serve. Rosemary Boulton “I honestly believe that the end of life can be a time of great love and peace. Having a palliative care facility located in the shadows of our beautiful mountains will provide all families in the Bow Valley with a place of comfort and care for both the patient and their family, during this time of transition. And importantly, having a stand-alone hospice here in Canmore, people will not need to travel back and forth to Calgary or beyond to access such a facility during end-of-life palliative care.” Rosemary has held senior executive positions with large multinational companies and successful entrepreneurial firms during 30 years in the global energy industry. She worked with diverse community and business partners, various levels of government, including the First Nations, by taking an active role in the community consultation process, to build collaborative and supportive relationships with all parties. As a leader, Rosemary places high value on corporate integrity, innovation, and sustainability of employees, the community, and the environment.
Rosemary’s volunteer roles include Co-chair of the Women's Initiative for the United Way of Calgary, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra Board, and Treasurer of the Canmore Golf Ladies League.
Martin Buckley “The palliative care/end of life care/hospice situation is one that has hit home within the past number of years, with the passage of my parents (in 2009 and 2016) and younger brother (in 2021; all three in Drumheller), and the environments in which they spent their final months/days. I believe there are better, more comforting surroundings for a person’s final years, than those my late parents and brother were in.” Martin has a 37-year career in municipal administration, holding management/leadership positions in municipalities in Alberta and BC, and retiring from his position as the Chief Administrative Officer with the Municipal District of Bighorn at the end of 2018. He is a two time graduate of the University of Lethbridge, holding a B.A. with a major in political science (1979) and a Bachelor ofManagement degree (1988). Martin is a keen volunteer, involved with the local high school football team, and an appointed member of both the Town of Canmore and the M.D. of Bighorn Assessment Review Boards. Martin is also the Club Secretary for the Rotary Club of Canmore.
