Crystal Leach was acclaimed to Altona Town Council in 2026. Raised in rural Manitoba, she has always appreciated the strong connections and sense of belonging that come with small-town living. After spending much of her adult life in Winnipeg, she moved to Altona in March 2024. She and her husband, David, along with her stepson, Gordon, are proud to call Altona home.

A graduate of Red River College, Crystal brings over 20 years of experience in creative design, communications, and business operations. She has operated her own creative and business support company for nearly a decade. She also volunteers as a mentor with The Forum, supporting women entrepreneurs across Canada, and has been involved in various charitable and community initiatives.

Inspired by Altona's welcoming spirit, Crystal joined Town Council to give back to the community. She is passionate about supporting local businesses, strengthening community connections, encouraging thoughtful growth, and ensuring residents feel heard. She also hopes to inspire more women and younger generations to become involved in their communities.

Outside of her professional and community commitments, Crystal enjoys spending time with family and friends, gardening, cooking, reading, outdoor adventures, and creative projects, including LEGO builds.
