Hello,
Born and brought up near Montreal, Quebec, I have lived in the West Kootenay since 1981 when I relocated from London, Ontario, where I had pursued my initial post-secondary education. I enjoy all that the West Kootenay has to offer – scenery, varied recreation opportunities, wonderful seasons, and accepting people.
My professional work in this area includes having served with the RCMP, provided services as a coroner with the BC Coroner’s Service, and taught math/science and, later, provided counselling services at Stanley Humphries Secondary School.
