Meet Our Team
The Backbone of The Edward Experience
A premier residence of this calibre needs a premier team. In developing The Edward, we started with a superb central location, then engaged architects and consultants with experience in retirement living. Most importantly, we talked with our prospective residents, listening to their preferences and advice.
The result? Every member of The Edward team is trained to deliver caring, attentive, professional service that will surpass your expectations.
Resident Experience Manager,
Raphael Fauve
Raphael’s decade of hospitality experience at hotels around the world is a natural fit for his work at The Edward, where he ensures the quality of resident experiences in our community.
Born and raised in northwest France, he is a world traveller who came to Canada originally as a tourist and immediately fell in love with the country.
When he is not travelling and working, Raphael enjoys a lifelong interest in cinema. With post-secondary studies focused on Cinema History, he has acted in short films, written screenplays and worked in mutliple roles on film sets.
He is also active in sports, especially volleyball and soccer, and takes advantage of his new home in Calgary to explore the nearby Rocky Mountains year-round.
