Wife (husband Jim), mother of three, grandmother. The work history she lists: playground building, apartment cleaning and painting, groundskeeper, lifeguard, McDonald's, Kmart, Safeway, waitressing at Ma's Stopping Place and the Dragon Palace, head of ground crew at the municipal airport and then running the airport restaurant with her sister, commercial painter, cashier at Tempo, nearly five years co-owning a trucking company in oil and gas with her husband, and "more recently" the cosmetics department at Shoppers Drug Mart. Her current employment is unclear. No post-secondary education is mentioned. Her father struggled with addiction and experienced homelessness and prison. Her granddaughter Addison Webb was 2021 Dawson Creek Youth of the Year. ## Community roles she lists From a post of July 14, 2026: coached youth soccer and five-pin bowling; "President of the Aboriginal Education Board" for many years; BC 5 Pin president for Dawson Creek; helped spearhead and chaired the boards of Parkhill Community School and Yo 360 (a program for youth who had left school); years of volunteering at Nawican community dinners, Salvation Army Christmas dinners, St. Mark's food bank and soup kitchen, and school hot lunches.[1] Parkhill Community School and YO360 existed, according to 2006-2011 council records. Her roles in them could not be confirmed from any document reachable. ## Advocacy No council delegation, letter or petition under her name. One pre-campaign trace: 2014 Facebook comments by "Angela Csizmadi Healey" on a smoking bylaw, reproduced in the November 3, 2014 council agenda: "I'm a smoker and most of the new, no smoking bylaw, I find pretty ridiculous, but.... I do like the fact that our City Council is doing something about the complaints and listening."[3] [Likely her] (she cites Hungarian heritage). She was a guest speaker at Nawican's National Overdose Awareness Day event on August 28, 2026, telling her family's story.[1] ## Electoral history None found. ## 2026 platform Priorities from her September 4 post, quoted by Energeticcity.ca on September 11:[4][1] - Everyday affordability - Responsible spending and accountability - Safer neighbourhoods - Revitalizing downtown and supporting local business - Accessible and affordable housing - Seniors, families and youth - "Compassionate, practical solutions to mental health, addictions and homelessness, while protecting the safety and well-being of our entire community" On taxes: "It isn't just 'City money.' It's taxpayer money," and "Responsible financial stewardship doesn't mean saying 'no' to everything." On safety: "I believe we can be compassionate while also expecting accountability," and "I refuse to accept that this is the best we can do." Slogan: "Brave enough to care. Strong enough to act." She decided against lawn signs on cost grounds. In about 23 posts there is nothing on the pipeline, the tax-rate number, RCMP staffing or the shelter relocation, and no numeric promises. ## News coverage Energeticcity.ca, September 11, 2026: "I'm running because I love this community... I believe the people who live here deserve a strong voice at City Hall."[4] Otherwise list mentions only. No negative coverage. ## What the record shows **Facts.** The most self-documented of the low-profile challengers, almost entirely through her own page. No prior elected or appointed role on record. **Our reading (inference, not fact).** Motivation appears personal and values-driven, rooted in family experience with addiction and long ties to Nawican, rather than a single grievance. The platform is thematic and untested on finance and infrastructure. **Questions worth asking.** Her current occupation. Whether the board presidencies she lists can be confirmed. Her position on the pipeline and the budget. ## Sources cited on this page 1. Angela Healey for Dawson Creek City Council (Facebook page).
