Infoindy Ady was elected to her third term as Member of the Legislative Assembly for Calgary-Shaw on March 3, 2008. In addition to her role as MLA, Mrs. Ady was sworn in as Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation on March 13, 2008.

Previously Mrs. Ady served as chair of the Calgary caucus, the Southern Alberta cabinet liaison and represented government on the Calgary Stampede Board. She has also chaired the Social Care Facilities and Victims' Services Review Committees and was a member of the Agenda and Priorities Committee, the Standing Policy Committee on Learning and Employment, the Idaho/Alberta Transboundary Advisory Committee, the Fees and Charges Monitoring Committee and the standing committees on Public Accounts and Private Bills.

Mrs. Ady was born in San Antonio, Texas, and is the daughter-in-law of former MLA for Cardston-Taber-Warner Jack Ady. She studied communications at Utah’s Brigham Young University between 1975 and 1979 and was awarded first-place honors in the Collegiate National Speech Competition in Washington, D.C., in 1976 and 1977.

Prior to her election as an MLA, Mrs. Ady was a self-employed community development consultant. In that role she spearheaded a proposal and business plan for Centennial high school, which opened in September 2004 in Calgary. She also helped four other Calgary communities develop successful proposals for provincial funding for new schools. Mrs. Ady was also the owner of a custom home construction business, managing operations from foundation to completion.

She helped develop a community-based approach to handling the problem through the Learning Environment Action Plan (LEAP). She was also a member of the steering committee that conducted an independent review of the Calgary Board of Education’s financial situation in 1997-98.
