Sheila Willis lives in Smith Alberta, a small hamlet in the Lesser Slave
Lake region. Her father-in-law introduced her to the area’s history and she was hooked. When the need for preserving local and regional history was expressed combined with Sheila’s abilities as a natural solution seeker, she rose to the challenge and developed the concept for the History Check mobile app.

Living in a community “off the beaten path”, it was a natural extension to include attractions and services for the economic opportunity History Check afforded other small communities.

Prior to History Check, Sheila organized Alberta’s first geocaching tour, presented history & trapping to various school classes, and offers still a rustic women’s retreat on her acreage.

The History Check experience has taught Sheila a multitude of new skill sets and she has risen to the challenge of each while bringing History Check to life – and earning the nickname the human whirlwind along the way.
