Councillor Thea Hanson

Thea Hanson is thrilled to be elected as a Councillor for the City of Trail.  Thea Hanson has lived in our community for 13 years; however, her family has been here for decades. She is a local REALTOR® and has been an advocate of our community to every person that she helps relocate to our region.

Thea, with her husband Shawn, have two young children, Hunter and Axel. Planning for our future and our children’s future is key as we make decisions going forward and wants her constituents to know that she has our and our children’s best interests at heart.

She is a self-employed businesswoman and supports entrepreneurs and business owners and wants to see a thriving business community. She has volunteered her time over the last 12 years on numerous boards including the Lower Columbia Community Development Team Society, Trail Health and Environment Committee, Home of Champions Society, The Chamber of Commerce, and the Downtown Trail Improvement Committee. Thea has already been making our community a better place to live, work and play, but now can be a bigger voice representing the people of Trail. She listens, is a great communicator and strong negotiator. She encourages growth through economic development and retaining and creating the amenities that create a thriving community. She supports development with sustainable infrastructure and planning for those upgrades that will need to happen in the future.
