ACTIVITIES
The great philosophers ask, "How do we live a meaningful life?" For me, there is no single answer, but being engaged in diverse activities makes life interesting and satisfying. I invite you to explore these activities. Click on a title for more details.
Anti-racism / Black histoy
​​
I am an active member of the BC Black History Awareness Society. I work to oppose racism in all of its forms. One way to do this is to educate the public on the diversity of the Black community and of the many historic and present contributions.
Diversity and Equity
​​​
I am lucky to live in a society that believes that all people should have the opportunity to live meaningful lives and flourish in a multicultural community. The reality in Canada is that many people are deprived of that opportunity because of lack of equity - they have been made to start from a disadvantage. It is my job, and everyone's, to promote equity and inclusion and to honour and celebrate diversity.
The Symphony
​​
I love music. Jazz, blues, early rock, symphonies and chamber music really excite me. I lend my organizational skills to help the annual PRISMA symphony academy and festival.
Civil Liberties
​​
The difference between democracies and other forms of government is the guaranty of civil liberties. I support the BC Civil Liberties Association's work to protect our cherished democratic rights and liberties. I advocate for civil liberties in all of my community engagement.
Sustainable Agriculture
​​​
Sustainable agriculture means increasing the food security of local communities, growing affordable, nutritious food and respecting the environment. I support initiativesto advance sustainable farming.
Medical Assistance in Dying
​​​
I work with the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) to support the doctors, nurse practitioners and others in associated fields to provide compassionate medical assistance in dying to those experiencing intolerable suffering.
