Thompson, who was elected to Town Council in 2021, has brought a fresh face full of new ideas and a diverse dimension to our municipality. He has served his committees and community with passion, dedication and commitment, and will be sorely missed by all.

In his resignation letter, Councillor Thompson wrote, “Please accept this letter as notification of my resignation from the Town of Two Hills Council effective immediately. It has been a tremendous honour to serve as Town of Two Hills councillor. I am proud of our accomplishments as an organization taking head-on the many challenges we face in addressing economic development, health care professional shortage, housing, the COVID pandemic and many other issues in our community. Thanks to you for your support and guidance of me while in this role. I have the utmost faith in the abilities of the organization’s senior staff and council to continue the good work of this organization.”

In an interview with The Chronicle, Mayor Leonard Ewanishan says Councillor Thompson’s resignation is a significant loss for Council and for Two Hills and surrounding areas, adding “As with everyone in life, opportunities come and go, and whether we take advantage of them is the question. While an opportunity became available for our young councillor, who is a paramedic, he took it. Keegan and his family will be missed by the community. Council wishes him well on his new endeavour.”

Although it is with a heavy heart, The Chronicle wishes to thank Councillor Thompson for the selfless dedication he has shown our community. To Keegan, Alysha, Hayes, Ivy, Pierce and Cole, we wish you nothing but the best of luck as you embark on your new adventures and endeavors. You’ve touched the hearts of this small town in so many big ways and you will all be truly missed.
