Sean's Background

Sean Chu arrived to Calgary from Taiwan in 1985 speaking not a word of English, and within 7 years he was a sworn officer with the Calgary Police Service. From that point on Sean has worked with the Calgary Police Service as on Officer for 18 years. Sean took an even more extensive role in contributing to his community by working with many boards, and associations in an effort to be a bridge-builder for the many groups that make Ward 4 such a diverse neighborhood. The two most important areas that Sean has focused on in his community work is helping new immigrants feel welcome in their new community, while focusing on issues that affect seniors. All while raising two young daughters Jasmine & Sienna.
