Chris Ross

Biography

Chris Ross was born and raised northwest of Lacombe in the Lincoln District. The Ross family farm was homesteaded in 1919, where his parents Ian and Norma Ross still operate a cow/calf operation.

Chris’ rural farm community upbringing has contributed to the person he is today. He graduated from Lacombe Composite High School in 1987 and later completed an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program to work casual/part-time with Peace Hills EMS Wetaskiwin from 2006 to 2011. He currently works at Cervus Equipment Red Deer as a sales representative.

Chris enjoys camping, quadding and most importantly, family-time memories.

Chris’ Lacombe

My passions moving forward on Council is to continue to be true to who I am; be fair, honest, treat everyone equally with respect; build relationships to show we’re open for business, which will result in a more resilient and prosperous community for all.
