- I am a clinical instructor with the UBC Faculty of Medicine, School of Rehabilitation Sciences

- I have been involved and instrumental in many community projects, including: - ALPHA House in Trail; a 6 person group home for adults. - Rosebery Parklands; a wilderness park on Slocan Lake - This election is another example of how out of touch the main political parties are with the average Canadian.

- People are sick and tired of all the fighting and posturing and strategic positioning.

- The main political parties feel so entitled to your vote and support that they call elections whenever they want. They show no regard for the average voters wish that they respect the election results, cooperate and work on the problems of our nation. - They try to dismiss new parties and their ideas. Our Leader is being shut out of the leaders debate, in spite of several elections where the Green Party of Canada has had more candidates than the Bloc, and a full slate this election and last. They are not interested in you hearing the Green Party message of cooperation, hard work and practical problem solving.

- We need representatives who will go to Ottawa to get to work solving the many problems facing this country.

- I want to be your representative for the Southern Interior. I will work with whatever party forms government and not trigger early elections.

- I have much experience in leadership positions and a strong track record working as a team player.

- I have been a Green Party member since the early 1980s
