Born and raised in Fort McMurray, Councillor Bussieres has been a proud community member for his entire life. Lance is humbled and honored to have been elected by residents to Council for a second term after previously serving as a Ward 1 Councillor from 2013 to 2017.

Lance has been a practicing Real Estate Sales Agent in Fort McMurray since 1991 and in addition to his term on Council, has contributed to the success of the community by serving in various volunteer capacities including the Board of Directors for MacDonald Island Park (now the Regional Recreation Corporation of Wood Buffalo), Big Brothers Big Sisters, Fort McMurray Oil Barons and the Fort McMurray Real Estate Board.

Holding a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Calgary, you can often find Lance supporting the local community sports scene or taking the field himself – whether it’s at the Fort McMurray Oilsands Curling Club, playing or coaching softball, teeing off at one of their golf courses or lacing up the skates at one of their rinks.

Lance is dedicated to making the region a place they are all truly proud to call home and it is imperative that residents benefit from his service on Council. As priorities, Lance is focused on core service delivery, downtown development and local business advocacy, advancing equity and inclusion and supporting their people.

Councillor Bussieres currently represents Council on the Fort McMurray Airport Authority, the Public Art Committee and the Downtown Revitalization Committee.
