Jeevan Singh Mangat immigrated to Calgary with his family from Kenya in 1970 and enrolled in Grade 7. He attended Junior and Senior High School in Calgary and graduated from the University of Calgary with a Degree in Civil Engineering.

Jeevan has experience as a small business operator, and has volunteered in the past for Kids Cancer Care Foundation, Children’s Wish Foundation, The Third Academy School for Special Needs Children, and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. For the last 16 years, Jeevan has been employed as a commercial property manager and achieved his Certification of Property Management (CPM).

As a member of the Wildrose Independent Party of Alberta since 2020, Jeevan has volunteered on the Leadership Selection Committee and for the Provincial Nomination Committee. He has attended Wildrose events in the past year in Red Deer and Last Chance Saloon near Drumheller. He has also conducted presentations for Wildrose CAs regarding duties of the Local Constituency Nomination Committee and Conducting Nominee Search.

He and his wife, Nina, have been married for 39 years and have two adult children. During the provincial elections of 2012 and 2015, he ran as a Wildrose Candidate. In addition, he ran as a nominee for the UCP in 2018. In each of his campaigns, his literature stressed the values of free enterprise and ensuring equality of opportunity for all Albertans, particularly Alberta’s intellectually and physically challenged citizens.

Having witnessed as an Albertan the devastating effects of the National Energy Program, where families lost their homes and employment vanished, Jeevan has been dedicated to achieving Alberta Independence. Supporting industries and social causes in Quebec through taxes generated by Albertans is unacceptable. Jeevan believes in abolishing Transfer Payments, Bilingualism, Supply Management, and other federal programs that destroy Alberta. These policies can never be repealed by staying within the Federation; therefore, Alberta Independence must be achieved.

Please join us in welcoming Jeevan; we thank him for being willing to take on this role and leading us while we begin the task of searching for a new leader.
