ORGANIZATIONS & MEMBERSHIPS

My family and I consider ourselves to be beneficiaries of the generosity of our neighbours and society. It is humbling and inspiring to be amongst such a wonderful cohort of British Columbians who believe in volunteerism and philanthropy that build communities and touch lives. In a world seemingly full of negative press and fake news, it is vital for us perhaps now, more than ever, to shine the light on all the good that is and happens every day all around us.
