I have been a member of Collingwood Town Council from 1996-1999 and 2014 to present, and am Vice Chair of the Committee of the Whole. In my role as Councillor I sat on the Board of the NVCA for 4 years and presently sit on the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Small Urban Caucus and the Board of Directors of Ontario Small Urban Municipalities (OSUM). My focus and priorities are Growth and Sustainability, Environment and Climate Change, Affordable Housing, and Active Transportation. I am also on the Board of the Blue Mountain Watershed Trust Foundation. I was an Advertising Account Manager for Corus Entertainment for 20 years and retired in 2019. Previously, I established, owned and operated Duncan's Gourmet (now Duncan's Cafe) for 10 years, selling it in 1998. I am an avid cyclist and skier, golf just well enough not to quit forever, and am married to George, living happily with a pair of four-leggeds.
