Amber Link has deep roots in rural Alberta. She grew up on her family farm and ranch near Rockyford and, except for a few years of university to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree, she has lived in Wheatland County her whole life. She and her husband, Kevin, a paramedic moved to an acreage in Namaka in 2007 because they knew it was the best place to raise their five children.
The majority of Amber’s current work is in governance. As Reeve of Wheatland County, she is responsible for chairing Council meetings, media relations, acting as the spokesperson, and frequently representing Council at public events. She has experience in strategic planning, visioning, service capacity review, policy development and review, and human resource management (hiring, performance review, and contract negotiations).
