One of the first things I did when I got to Bowen Island? I picked up a copy of this paper.
Inside were stories about a community, from updates on local events to news and culture — and a whole lot of in-between.
It was pretty clear Bowen Island wasn’t just a beautiful spot to visit for the day, it was a great place to plant roots.
Soon my husband, dog and I were going about five knots up the Strait of Georgia in our 21-foot tugboat, heading towards our new home.
So as you can imagine, I’m more than happy to be your new editor at the Bowen Island Undercurrent, starting mid-March.
A little about me? I was a reporter at The Vancouver Sun and I have my master’s degree in journalism from the University of B.C. And a year and a half into life on Bowen, I’m more smitten than ever with this island.
It’s not just because of the endless trails for hiking and biking, or the many wonderful places to eat and shop. Nope. It’s you guys.
I look forward to working with you and to hearing your feedback, comments, ideas, questions and more.
Thank you!
