Is Terry too busy to be an effective Councillor?

It’s a fair question. When you look at Terry Boettcher’s life, you might wonder: how could someone so involved possibly have time to serve as a County Councillor for Division Three in the County of Two Hills?

Terry is a successful leader in the healthcare field, a regular Board Member and long serving Chair of the Two Hills Fellowship Chapel, and One Hope Canada (National Bible Camp Organization), a dedicated family man, youth sports coach, and an active volunteer for years on several local boards and committees. His calendar is full, no doubt about it. But let’s take a closer look.

A Proven Track Record of Making Time for What Matters

The reality is that Terry’s life story shows just the opposite of being “too busy.” Time and again, he has proven that when something matters, he makes the time for it. One example stands out clearly: while balancing his career, family responsibilities, and community involvement, Terry completed his Bachelor’s Degree. That didn’t happen because his schedule was empty — it happened because he is disciplined, organized, and committed.

Experience that Strengthens His Councillor Role

Being a leader in healthcare has sharpened Terry’s ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing focus. He’s accustomed to working under pressure, coordinating teams, and ensuring that important tasks don’t fall through the cracks. These are exactly the kinds of skills a County Councillor needs when representing residents, reviewing budgets, or shaping policy. Terry has also been very open with his employer about his goal to become the Councillor for Division Three, and with an employer who shares the core value of being Community Minded, Terry has the full support from his employer to take on the additional responsibilities of County Council. Terry has a good deal of flexibility in his schedule and is confident he will be able to find a healthy balance in his responsibilities.

Rooted in Community

Terry’s involvement in local boards, organizations and committees is more than just another line on a résumé. It shows his heart for service. From working with community organizations to supporting initiatives that directly impact families, farmers, and businesses, Terry has consistently chosen to give his time to make life better in the County of Two Hills. Serving as Councillor is a natural extension of that dedication.

The Bottom Line

So, is Terry too busy to be an effective Councillor? Quite the opposite. His ability to balance work, education, family, church and community service proves he knows how to manage time and priorities exceptionally well. More importantly, it shows that when it comes to things that matter — his community, his family, his faith — Terry always finds a way.

In Terry Boettcher, Division Three residents will find a Councillor who doesn’t shy away from responsibility, but embraces it. He has the experience, the energy, and the heart to give this role the attention it deserves.
