Councillor for Ward 4, Highlands East
ABOUT ME

I first came to Wilberforce as a cottager, with my parents, in 1955. Eleven years ago I retired from the practice of family law, and moved here with my husband. Together we set up a machine shop and started our own business, which we continue to operate today.

Since becoming a full time resident I have participated in several committees dealing with issues that arose in the community, including our school review, the library review, and the municipal water management debate. I have also been involved in local theatre, the Wilberforce Curling Club, local environmental groups, and the Agricultural Fair.

Now, as your Councillor I find that my experience in legal practice, mediation and small business operation is useful as council administers our daily affairs and takes on new projects.

As the Chair of our new Trails Committee I intend to work hard to develop and promote a system of trails in our community that all of us can enjoy, and that will encourage visitors to come to our area and get to know us.
