My personal vision statement for the Town of Ponoka – Love what you have and build what you need. I see Ponoka as an underutilized gem in a prime location that currently offers a quality of life that would not be found elsewhere. I see a passionate and caring community that wants to encourage others to take pride and ownership of this safe and vibrant community we call ‘HOME.’
