About Henry Effon

Henry Tettey Effon immigrated from Ghana in West Africa to Canada for new opportunities and beginnings in life.

Before moving to Canada, Henry attended Catholic schools all through his primary and secondary education in Accra, the capital of Ghana. Henry and his wife, Carrie, reside in Wetaskiwin. They have three children, Tiana, Zahara, and Isaiah. Henry and his family are members of Sacred Heart Parish in Wetaskiwin. Henry volunteers at his church and community programs.

Henry is a graduate of Social Work from Grant MacEwan University, a Registered Social Worker with Alberta College of Social Workers and a third-term elected School Board Trustee with St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic School Division.

Henry is passionate about social and primary education issues. When Henry is not working as a social worker or governing as a school trustee, Henry can be found helping others, coaching or playing soccer, spending time with his family and friends. Henry believes our world is a better place with love and compassion.
