Nancy Karvellas

Nancy Karvellas is a lawyer and a mother to two daughters. Relentless property tax hikes and a vision for the city that was unaligned with her values pushed her family out of Edmonton. They packed up and moved to an acreage in the Lake Isle area in July 2025.

Moving to Lac Ste. Anne County meant finding a community that genuinely reflects her values. It was also a return to her roots, as her family holds a 75-year history on Lac Ste. Anne and has been in Parkland County for over a century. Her family is surrounded by people who respect hard work and share her values.

Professionally, Nancy dedicated the bulk of her legal career to compassion-driven pro bono service. She walked away from a large national law firm to build a solo practice so she could stay home and raise her girls. Her work focused intensely on helping vulnerable people with low to no income.

She offered full representation to victims of human trafficking and gave free legal counsel to foreign nationals in women’s shelters. Her expertise was recognized nationally when she testified before a federal justice committee on human trafficking in 2018. She keeps her legal status active today specifically to continue this quiet, essential work.

Her commitment to the community extends well past legal services. Nancy spent a decade on the executive board of the Alberta Bar Association’s immigration section and is active with the local Cherhill 4H Club. She currently sits as a director on two Constituency Associations, one for the past three years and the other since 2025, and served as Vice President of Policy and Governance during that time. Nancy has also volunteered across all levels of political campaigns, from local to federal.

Politics was never her plan. She stepped into the arena after watching severe government overreach slowly suffocate our basic freedoms. Nancy refuses to let distant politicians dictate how we live, so she is stepping up to actually fight for Albertan families.
