Carmen Hrynchuk

Carmen was our founding Editor in Chief, and was a part of our team from 2014 until early 2018. Carmen began her career in St. Albert, where her love of books and magazines turned into a love of publishing them. Nearly 10 years later, she continues to work in the publishing industry and clings to the hope that the snacks she’s eaten will turn into words she’s written and that art will never learn to direct itself.

—

Carol Dragich

Carol has been working in and around St. Albert for over 20 years. She is thrilled to take her publishing experience into such a creative project and to continue to highlight this great city. She loves taking the back roads into town and remembering what makes St. Albert the rich fabric it is.
