Bowen Island’s newest member of the RCMP, Zhivka Ivanova started work on Bowen last week, which marks the beginning of her first long-term stint working in a small town 

Ivanova has been with the RCMP for 10 years, starting in Toronto, working in schools with Cpl. Paulo Arreaga in North Vancouver, on what she calls her most exciting gig - the Olympics - and also doing a five-week stint as an officer in Baker Lake, Nunavut.

In an interview with The Undercurrent, she said she wanted more small town experience with the RCMP, and also, that a move to Bowen would be ideal for her 13 year-old daughter.
