History

Drever was part of the 2015 orange crush, which saw the Alberta NDP stomp out a 44-year Progressive Conservative dynasty in the province. Drever beat PC candidate Byron Nelson.

Drever was a third-year sociology student when she won her seat in the 2015 election. Shortly after, a series of embarrassing social media posts came to light and she was booted from the NDP caucus.

After months sitting in the legislature as an Independent, during which she worked on the domestic violence bill, she was welcomed back into the party in January 2016.

The riding contains Canada Olympic Park. Neighbourhoods include Bowness, Cougar Ridge, Patterson, Valley Ridge and West Springs.
