Councillor Feature - Jane Weber

Behind every Council decision are local residents who care about Berwyn and give their time to serve the community. Over the next few weeks, we’re sharing short profiles to share a bit more about the Councillors who represent you.

Today we’re featuring 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗿, Councillor for the Village of Berwyn. Jane is currently serving her second term on Council.

My family and I have called Berwyn home since 2012, and we have always appreciated the warmth and welcoming atmosphere of the community. When my husband Dan was acclaimed to Council in 2021, the village needed another Councillor, and I felt compelled to step forward as well and am now serving my second term. It is a privilege to serve the community that I consider my home, and I look forward to continuing in this role.

Before moving to Alberta, we lived in a village in Ontario that was very similar to Berwyn. Because of that, Berwyn truly feels like home to me. I enjoy visiting the post office and other local spots where I get to see and connect with neighbours. The friendliness and familiarity of daily life here are things I deeply appreciate.

I enjoy reading, crafting, and spending time with my family. Our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren live both nearby and in Ontario. One of my passions is crocheting thread chemo caps for people undergoing chemotherapy, and I have developed my own patterns and have made more than 350 caps, which I’ve donated to hospitals in Alberta and Ontario. I also serve on the Peace Regional Library Board and the MMSA Board and participate in local events such as the Berwyn Fiesta and the Harvest Moon Festival.
