Former Alberta MLA and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Gene Zwozdesky has died. From his service to our province, the Ukrainian community & Alberta music, Speaker Gene Zwozdesky accomplished so much, helped so many and has been taken too soon. I didn't have the privilege of directly serving with Gene Zwozdesky, but he was a legend of the Alberta Legislature. —@PaulaticsSo very saddened to hear of my friend, MLA & Speaker Gene Zwozdesky who passed away today. Luv you Gene...💔 pic.twitter.com/npEVyeGu7H —@HeatherKlimchukTerribly sad to learn of Gene Zwozdesky’s passing.
