Our People

Graduated UVic 1978, BSc Physical & Resource Geography. Built energy efficient home near Cranbrook in 1983. Self employed, with a variety of jobs according to the season. Active member of Rocky Mountain Naturalists, South Star Recreation Society, Kootenay Christmas Tree Association. I like birding, paddling, making things from ‘scratch’ and figuring out how to improve my community.

I am care deeply about our global environment and hold a personal vendetta with Invasive Plant Species. Doesn’t matter the season you can find me hiking local South-East Kootenay trails and mountains, or spending time alongside our numerous lakes and rivers. I prefer to spend most of my time finding peace and tranquility in all-natural surroundings. I am proud to call Kimberley home and am delighted to volunteer my services to an organization...

Since the late 1970’s, I’ve been active locally, regionally and nationally in environmental and social issues.  Jim Campbell and I were the EKES team that started recycling in Cranbrook. I am actively involved in: Kootenai River Network, Inc. (Montana), Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook Society, EK Network for Humanity, Social Planning Society, Grow It Eat It Task Force, Cranbrook Food Action Committee, the Cranbrook Community Forest Society, and Yasodhara Yoga Cranbrook.

I was born and raised in Kimberley and am lucky to have grown up in the company of people who are connected to the earth.

Once the coordinator for Cranbrook Composts and the Clean Bin project, Nadine now brings her educator background and fresh perspective to the Wildsight Kimberley Cranbrook Board of Directors. Passionate about waste reduction and diversion, Nadine is doing her best to reduce her household waste to zero, and blogging all about it!  Check out her work on the Zero Journey Blog.

I am a young outdoor enthusiast who is passionate about making a difference.
