Dear Father God, on this day, we pray for the Honourable David Eggen, MLA for Edmonton-North West. We pray for his commitment to improving Alberta’s education system. We pray that our schools would be safe havens for students and a place where they are well taken care of. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us to, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” In Jesus’ name. Amen.
David has been a representative for Edmonton-Calder now Edmonton – North West since 2012, and previously represented the constituency from 2004 to 2008. Named Minister of Education in 2015, David focused on supporting Alberta students on their path to success. David holds a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Alberta, and taught for 3 years in Zimbabwe and for 14 years at various local schools. He is active in the community, having been a trustee with the Forum for Young Albertans and a chair leader of the Canadian Paraplegic Association.
