LEGACY / CAROLINE / SHANTZ—403-722-7049 Thalia Aspeslet — Community Liaison, Legacy/Caroline/Shantz. Born and raised in Grimshaw/ Peace River Alberta, she grew up in the heart of the northern oil and gas development of the province. In 2005, after her son was born, she moved to Calgary to further her education. After completing a Bachelor of Science in Geophysics, she spent the early years of her career interpreting and processing seismic data. In 2015, she switched gears to learn about stakeholder engagement and in 2018 became the Community Liai- son for the Caroline complex. After living in the city for the better part of her adulthood, she realized how much she missed the small town community life. Everyone who lives and works in the communities she serves have been incredibly kind and welcoming. In a sense, she has been welcomed home and in return is passionate about honoring, building and maintaining the relationship between community and operations.
