Danielle Larivee

As a strong supporter of Alberta’s NDP, this is my personal commentary on politics in Alberta, as well as Lesser Slave Lake.

Danielle Larivee was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta as the Member for the constituency of Lesser Slave Lake on May 5, 2015 until April 16, 2019. She was sworn in as Minister of Children’s Services on January 19, 2017. Prior to that she had served, since October 2015, as Minister of Municipal Affairs.

Before serving with the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, Ms. Larivee worked for over 17 years as a registered nurse with Alberta Health Services. During this time she also spent two years working in home care for the Driftpile First Nation and two years as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) instructor with Northern Lakes College.

Ms. Larivee holds a bachelor of science in midwifery from the Midwives College of Utah and a bachelor of science in nursing from the University of Alberta. She also is an alumnus of the TUXIS Parliament of Alberta.

Ms. Larivee, together with her three children, resides in Slave Lake, a place that she has called home for 40 years, a community abundant with rivers and lakes that she enjoys kayaking whenever she has the opportunity.
