Work and Volunteer Experience
As an elected government leader (2012-2020) I chaired or served on the following committee and boards:
- Environmental Sustainability Committee (founding chair)
- Planning Committee
- Audit Committee
- Transit Authority Board
- Point to Point Transit Society Board
- Accessibility Committee (founding member)
- Regional Emergency Management Organization Committee
- Community Fibre Network (internet accessibility) Board
- Source Water Protection Advisory Committee
My government experience, participation in a local Climate Circle, and interest in energy poverty led me to present at Plugged In! sharing energy issues and best practices for municipalities.
I continue to contribute to the many aspects of accessibility and also of progressive economic development in my province.
I am a Vision Mate with Canadian National Institute for the Blind, volunteering weekly to be my local Vision Mate’s eyes.
I chaired the Halifax Brewery Farmers’ Market Cooperative board of directors the maximum three terms 2016-2022 before stepping down as required.
I’m an active member in the Indexing Society of Canada (ISC/SCI) and on the ISC/SCI conference organizing committee.
