Mayor Dennis Helmuth

I'm starting my 4th Term as Mayor as of November 18, 2024. I know that Rosthern has been and will continue to be a wonderful and dynamic community to be a part of. As Mayor, along with Council and our Town Administration, I look forward to continuing work on important projects underway in our Town. I will continue to advocate and partner with people and organizations which will help us to achieve our goals. I enjoy being physically active, reading, gardening, birdwatching, and spending time with my family, now including two special grandchildren.

I'm always available to share information and ideas on making our Town exemplary.

Councillor Colin Aebig

I am currently in my second term as Councillor for the Town of Rosthern. I have lived in Rosthern for the past 46 years, having raised a family of 3 children with my wife Laurie. I am semi retired and enjoy living in this great community.

Moving forward, it will be an exciting time, as the Town enters an opportunity to have growth in both economics and residential development. With the expansion of our well fields and the new Water Treatment Plant, both of which are equally important to support the new Hospital, as well as the growing demand for housing.

If you should have any concerns or ideas, please contact me so we sit down and have a conversation and hopefully find the solutions that best fits our community, we call home.

Councillor Emily Hand

I’ve lived in Rosthern over half my life, working, and raising a family with my husband. We have 3 kids and bought a home in Rosthern in 2009, where I base all my business. I am a full-time mother and provider from the land, growing large gardens, hunting, and gathering. 

I love Rosthern, it’s hardly necessary to leave! A community brimming with this much opportunity needs strong voices. I care about the future of our little community and want to speak for those who will see that future in Rosthern, our young people.
