Age: 22.

Job:Heritage interpreter.

Employer:Atlas Coal Mine.

What do you like about your job? Being able to be outside all day, except in this weather!

Where do you live?Right now, in Drumheller. Originally from Brighton, Ontario.

How long have you lived there?I came last summer and went back to Ontario to finish my tourism and travelling course at college. Then I was asked to come back to work at the Atlas Coal Mine, so here I am, and possibly here to stay!

What do you like best about Drumheller?There are so many things I like! Being so different from where I grew up, with its landscape and community.

If there were one thing you could change about Drumheller, what would it be?There needs to be a Tim Horton’s, it draws people together.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Anywhere? I have decided when I grow up, whenever that might be, I’ll be living in the Seychelles, because I like sandy beaches and hot weather.

What do you do in your spare time?When I am not watching Glee (I am a gleek), I take my dog for walks and find new places to go and discover. I found some old abandoned buildings recently in the Badlands. 

Your life’s best achievement? Being the only girl in an entire football league and winning the league MVP!

Have you ever taken a life changing decision? Yeah, coming out here to work. Normally, I am very reserved, but as soon as I came out here on my own, it opened lots of possibilities and I became more independent, I’m proud to say.

What are your strengths?Being able to get along with anybody, and that’s perfect for work, too.

Any weaknesses? Being a gleek! We didn’t have proper TV when I grew up. In Grade 12, we got satellite and that changed the world for me.

Three words that best describe you?Outgoing, friendly and fun!

What makes you happy?Watching Glee.

If you were granted three wishes from an angel or genie, what would they be?I’d like to get my whole family to watch Glee with me, they’d love the show. Being able to make a infinite amount of money so I can share it with everyone and getting an unlimited supply of 'chunky monkey' Ben and Jerry ice cream!

If you could have one super power what would it be?Having Wonder Woman’s invisible jet so I can go travelling the world.

Age:18.
Job: Manager of the Old School Café.
Employer: East Coulee School Museum.
What do you like about your job? Being paid to bake!
Where do you live? East Coulee.
How long have you lived there? My whole life.
What do you like best about Drumheller? The scenery... being able to walk barefoot by the river and through the hills.
If there were one thing you could change about Drumheller, what would it be? For people to have a stronger environmental conscience. There is so much that can be done, both on a personal and municipal level, and I do not believe that environmental issues get enough attention here.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Such a difficult question. I’d love to travel the world and see everywhere! Maybe after that I could decide.
What do you do in your spare time? Bake cakes, cookies, bread, anything at all. Dance, mostly ballet, and read fantasy and historical fiction.
Your life’s best achievement? Living as an individual, without caving to “normal” standards or expectations.
What are your strengths? Being intelligent and determined.
Any weaknesses? Being a perfectionist. In me it’s a weakness - my standards for myself and everybody else are unreasonably high.
Any bad habits? Probably!
Three words that best describe you? Curious, compassionate and unique.
What makes you happy? Sunshine, the smell of baking bread, and other simple pleasures.
If you were granted three wishes from an angel or genie, what would they be?An end to undue suffering, unlimited baking ingredients, and the chance to meet a fairy!
If you could have one super power what would it be? Being able to fly! I’ve dreamed of it my entire life.
Where do you see yourself ten years from now? Saving the world from climate change.
Who would you like most to meet? There are so many amazing people in history and today that I’d find it difficult to choose. Maybe Einstein? Everyone says that he was a genius, but I think we forget how much that really means. He’d be fascinating to talk to.
Words to live by? Always be yourself, you are the only one who can.
