About

Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk was first elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville on April 16, 2019. As a small business owner, she was concerned with the direction the province was heading in, and wanted to make a difference, which is what inspired her to run.

A long-term resident in the riding, Ms. Armstrong-Homeniuk and her husband have raised their two children in the community and are proud to call East-Central Alberta home.

She also is a journeyman hairstylist as well and owned and operated her own salon for approximately 34 years and has experience in the insurance industry.

Ms. Armstrong-Homeniuk wasted no time in getting to work in sponsoring a private member’s bill called the “Protection of Students with Life-Threatening Allergies Act”. Her bill was passed unanimously in the assembly, which was the first bill that was passed by the current government.

She is the chair for the Advisory Council on Alberta-Ukraine Relations, and serves as the chair for the Skilled Trades Caucus and sits on two regional caucuses as well. Her extensive business background, along with her grasp of the Ukrainian language make her an ideal member of the council.
