Leah Pillet has been an active resident of Maple Ridge for 19 years and enjoys raising her family here with her husband. Homeschooling her kids for 11 years has been a wonderful experience, connecting her to many families in the area and all the amazing events put on by the city, library, parks and recreation, sports and local organizations. Children are very important to Leah and she served as the organizer and coordinator of the local homeschool community, Ridge Meadows Home Learners, for those 11 years. Many families benefited through her efforts of organizing countless field trips, co-ops, community events and conventions. This opportunity taught Leah the leadership and organizational skills that she plans to bring to the City of Maple Ridge as a Councillor.
