A township of 12,000+ residents, many communities in the CRD have interaction with the Town which shares borders with Songhees First Nation, Esquimalt First Nation, Town of Esquimalt, Saanich, Colwood, Langford and the Highlands.

Her experience at every level of government has provided her a fulsome understanding of how things work, and roles and responsibilities.
