Kim Capstick is the Executive Director of Outreach and Engagement for the Alberta Cannabis Secretariat. She has been with the Secretariat since Day One, helping to recruit and establish the team that would take on the unprecedented work of creating a system for legalized cannabis in Alberta.

Kim has a lead role in developing the policies and elements of this system and also leads the engagement process, which saw more than 60,000 people share their views about legalized cannabis — one of the largest responses in Alberta government history.

Kim’s career with the Alberta government spans two decades, and includes establishing and leading teams through wildfire and flood recovery, leading the development of a comprehensive communications framework on natural resource development and serving as Director of Communications in several ministries, including Alberta Environment.

Kim is married with two young children.
