Bio:
Delia has been my home for over 20 years, with my family farming in the area for nearly a century. I graduated from Delia School and only left briefly to attend the University of Lethbridge, where I earned my Bachelor of Management with Great Distinction.
After returning home, I began working in economic development and became an active member of our region’s business community, serving as Vice President of the Hanna Chamber of Commerce.
As Mayor, I look forward to working closely with our neighbouring municipalities, supporting local growth, and helping expand Delia’s tax base. Most importantly, I’m committed to listening to our community’s needs and doing my part to make Delia an even better place to live.

Bio:
My name is Dave Smeyers. I was first elected on May 17, 2024, in the Village of Delia by-election, and re-elected on October 20, 2025, in the general election as Deputy Mayor.
I began my career as a police constable, first in the military and then with the Metropolitan Toronto Police Service, where I served for nearly a decade. In the early 1980s, I moved to Calgary and enrolled at Devry Institute, pursuing a degree in Computer Science. This marked the beginning of my new career in Information Technology.
Over the next three decades, I progressed through the IT industry—starting as a computer programmer and eventually becoming Alberta’s IT Director for KPMG, followed by a role as Senior Manager for Western Canada. In 1998, I earned my MCSE+I and MCT designations and launched SAIT’s fast-track MCSE program, where I served as coordinator and lead instructor.
After retiring in 2012, I sought a quieter lifestyle and, in 2016, found both a welcoming community and my soulmate in the Village of Delia.
I’m a proud father of three children, grandfather to six, and great-grandfather to three—all of whom live in Calgary and bring immense joy to my life.
Just as the police motto is “to serve and protect,” I aim to carry that same spirit into my role as your newly elected Deputy Mayor.

Hi, I’m Jordan Elliott (formerly MacNutt), councillor for the Village of Delia.
I was born in Stettler and have lived and worked in a few places in Southern Alberta including Lethbridge and Medicine Hat. Just over five years ago, my significant other, Carson Elliott, and I decided to move to Delia to pursue a career and we’ve been in love with the community ever since. We decided to purchase a home here in Delia because its central for our jobs but it’s the people that make it a great place to live.
The council and I are working hard to make Delia a great community to live in. It’s a quiet, rural Village but oers so much to people that want to be involved in making a home for their family. As I write this, we’re anticipating our new K to 12 school, we’ve got new homes being built and businesses interested in setting up shop. I am proud to represent the people that live in our Village and hope that by working together, we can continue to make Delia a great place.
