| Info | He has deep roots in Lethbridge, being the fourth generation of his family to call the city home. He was among some of the first students at the University of Lethbridge′s new west side campus, earning his bachelor of science in 1976 before beginning his career as a certified irrigation design consultant. He has also owned and operated several successful small businesses in Lethbridge and is currently president of Frontier Irrigation Ltd. and co-owner of Yardworks and Tileworks.
Mr. Weadick was first elected to Lethbridge city council in 1991 and continued to serve for nine years. As a member of council he helped guide the city'′s pay-as-you-go strategy that put the city on firm financial ground.

He was the founding president of the Lethbridge Youth Foundation and 5th on 5th Youth Services, which has helped thousands of young people get their education back on track and become contributing members of society.
He also helped promote the city as chairman of the Economic Development, Agriculture & Tourism Committee and as a member of the Downtown LA Board. He has served on the Lethbridge & District Exhibition Board and the Lethbridge Senior Friendly Committee, the police commission, and is a longtime Rotarian.
