Every year during Public Works week, we feature a member of the Public Works team so you can get to know the people behind yard waste pickup, wastewater services, snow removal, and much more.This year we would like to introduce Jenna Krause, who has been working with the Public Works team for 2 years.Jenna started out as a summer student but was hired on as a full-time staff member this past December. She says that her favourite part of the job is that no day is the same, and there’s lots of variety in her day-to-day.Before moving to Red Deer for college, Jenna grew up in Rolling Hills where she filled her days with camping and hiking, which she continues to do in her spare time today. After college, Jenna began sending our resumes and received a call from the Town of Blackfalds – the rest is history!Jenna said that her favourite memory working for the Town, so far, is when her team was filling cracks in the streets with tar when some kind members of the community brought them out hot dogs and pop.Thank you, Jenna, for all your hard work! We are so happy to have you as part of the team.
