Former Wetaskiwin city councillor running in provincial Metis by-election – Pipestone Flyer
December 5, 2025
In an exclusive Metis Week interview, Gabrielle Blatz – former two-term Wetaskiwin city councillor and current candidate in the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Provincial Women’s Representative by-election – opens up about her journey in leadership, advocacy, and community-building.
“I spent nearly 11 years working in health care at the Wetaskiwin Hospital and Care Centre, Ponoka Hospital and Care Centre, and the Centennial Centre for Brain Injury and Mental Health. I just stepped away from that career a couple of weeks ago,” Blatz shared.
“It was a meaningful chapter, but I knew it was time to focus more fully on advocacy and community leadership.”
