He holds a two-year degree in personal fitness training with specialized certifications in human anatomy, biomechanics, corrective exercise, management, and mental health. He has owned his own business for 10 years and works as a certified contracted trainer at the Leduc Recreation Centre.
Coun. Raymond serves as President of the Leduc Pride Society and was an advisory member on the Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) board, collaborating with multiple non-profits in Leduc and the Edmonton region.
Passionate about fitness and well-being, he enjoys pilates, group fitness classes and walks with his dogs, Clover and Charlie, sometimes around the Telford Lake loop. He and his soon-to-be husband, Rodney—Director of Operations at Edmonton International Airport’s food and beverage division—enjoy exploring local dining and community activities.
He is deeply committed to connecting residents with local businesses and fostering inclusive community dialogue. Coun. Raymond welcomes conversations with residents to help make Leduc an even stronger, more connected community.
