Cal David - CouncillorI know that I made the right choice in calling Ponoka home. Ponoka has the unique advantage of maintaining community wholesomeness while still being connected within the heart of urban Alberta. When I see the passion of our residents, I recognize the love and the energy that unites us to ensure that Ponoka continues to grow while maintaining its deep-rooted culture and history.
