I’ve worked and lived in Tumbler Ridge, since 1982. My background is in mining, tourism and volunteerism. My respect and appetite for outdoor recreation, conservation, humanitarian issues and industrial development is what motivates me the most. What attracts and impresses me the most, about the concepts behind Community Forest Management, is the balance that’s sought between stakeholders on the land and the people that are served by the values of the land…!
