Calvin Yzerman is hoping the third time’s the charm to secure a seat on Red Deer city council.
Yzerman ran unsuccessfully in the 2001 and 2010 civic elections.
But the 53-year-old hopes his dedication and passion for the city will have voters marking an X beside his name on the Oct. 21 ballot.
Yzerman says he’s a great ambassador for the city, welcoming new residents. He has been married to Liz Iliscupidez-Yzerman for 15 years and has strong ties to Red Deer’s Filipinos community.
One of his goals is to help out the Filipinos business community.
If elected, Yzerman would like to mentor Filipinos with political aspirations.
