| Introduction | I have lived continuously on Bowen (with partner Carol), since 1972. I became active politically in the early 1990s as a GVRD alternate for Ross Carter, then as chair of the APC. I served on 4 Councils, from 1999-2011. I was also an Islands Trust trustee (three terms), Metro Vancouver Director, and Translink Mayors' Council delegate, and served on the Treaty Advisory Commission. Now I just snipe from the sidelines. |
