Blake Betteridge

Blake was born and raised in Edmonton and is proud to call Edmonton home. He is currently working with the City of Edmonton as the Administrative Support to the Community Sustainability Task Force after starting in the Grants department. He has a background in Journalism and attended the MacEwan School of Communications.

Blake is a very creative individual and is happiest when he is creating something new. He plays the guitar, piano and the drums and is currently in the art-punk band, Bayonets!!! Following in the footsteps of his Great Grandfather, Blake taught himself how to draw, and then to paint. To date he has completed 111 paintings which have earned him recognition in the Edmonton Journal and See Magazine.

Blake rounds out his busy life with a part time job at Rexall Place as a Rink Rat where he can be seen shovelling the ice during the TV time outs of NHL and WHL games. He is also a puck-moving defenseman for the Shredders, a local beer league hockey team.
