Why Shawna Moved Back to Consort to Raise Her Family

Shawna Mauck is the fourth generation in her family to call Consort home. After living away, she and her husband knew without hesitation that they wanted to return to raise their own family in the community that raised her.

From affordability and strong schools to a slower pace of life where neighbours look out for one another, Consort has everything they need—plus a new swimming pool, great recreation, and that small-town charm where you can tell where the kids are just by whose lawn the bikes are on.

This is part of the Return to Rural series—real stories of living, working, and thriving in Alberta’s Special Areas.
