SHARMON SMITH
SHARMON SMITH
General Manager
I moved from Millwoods to the Orchards in December of 2020. My husband and I have 6 adult sons and are currently raising our 9 year old grandson.
When we saw what the Orchards community had to offer, we were very excited to move here. I grew up on a farm near a very small town in Alberta where everyone knew everyone. When I moved to Edmonton it was a very big adjustment. Moving to the
Orchards has returned me to that feeling of “knowing everyone.”
The ORA is great for giving neighbours a chance to get to know each other and I am excited to be on the Board of Directors helping build our community.
During the summer, you will rarely see me as I am the General Manager of a resort property by Jasper (Jasper Gates Resort & RV). We close for winter in October so I am involved in Orchards activities as
much as possible from Oct-May.
I look forward to getting to know more of my community and to serving on the Board of the ORA.

Resident Director
My name is Lindsey MacDermott and my family and I moved into the Orchards in 2019 form BC. We were drawn to the amenities of the ORA and the community culture.
We enjoy participating in the resident events and you can often find us skating through the winter. I enjoy crafting, a warm coffee, and you might see me running the paths early in the morning.
I love the strong sense of community this neighbourhood has and I hope I can continue to build that spirit during my time on the board.

ARVIN GUILLERMO
Realtor
My name is Arvin Guillermo, and I am truly humbled to have been elected to join the board of directors for our homeowners’ association. Since 2017, I have been a proud resident of the Orchards community, and I cannot express enough how much joy and fulfillment it has brought to my family’s life. Now, it is my sincere desire to give back and contribute to the community that has given us so much.
With my background as a licensed real estate agent in Alberta, I bring a unique perspective to the board. I have spent years helping people buy and sell properties, and I understand the importance of maintaining a well-functioning and harmonious community. I believe that effective communication, collaboration, and a shared vision are crucial for creating a thriving neighborhood, and I am committed to working towards these goals.
I am a proud Alberta boy with Filipino-Canadian roots, and my cultural heritage is deeply intertwined with my identity. I firmly believe that embracing diversity and appreciating the different cultures within our community enriches the tapestry of our collective experience. I am a firm believer in the power of connections and building meaningful relationships. Engaging in conversations with fellow residents, participating in community events, and extending a helping hand are all ways in which I strive to foster unity and a sense of belonging. Hearing the stories and experiences of individuals from various backgrounds fills me with inspiration and fuels my commitment to creating a vibrant and inclusive community.
When I’m not working, you might find me dancing salsa with my wife or on the golf course enjoying a round with friends and clients. I’m also happily married and consider myself a proud dog dad, which feeds my desire to create a safe and welcoming environment for all families, including our furry friends.
In my role as a board member, I am committed to actively listening to your concerns and ideas, advocating for your needs, and collaborating with fellow board members to address challenges that arise. Together, we can create a nurturing environment that cultivates a strong sense of belonging and caters to the diverse needs of our residents. I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me to serve our community. I am genuinely excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, and I am eager to work hand in hand with my fellow board members to make Orchards an even more vibrant and thriving place we are proud to call home.
Thanks,
