  • Mentorship⛵️ is like any 🌪other human🌋 relationships. It gets ⛔️built at the✅️ speed of ⏭trust. ⁉️
    Over my 5 🏪years in public 🏚office, so far, I have 🎪been fulsome with my efforts🚲. In the beginning, 🚜I had a new motion🚨 to bring forward 🦽every week, intending ⛽️to use the built 💪 up capacity the village had to address growing 🛟social problems. I learned within⚓️ the first year that 😌 it was not 🛞going to work. There wasn't the 🚦political appetite 🙄 for taking on more 🪂responsibility and increasing 🛸service levels. The first municipal🛣 budget we passed, 🕰when I was new 🪐to council, had us use the🌦 entire $300K we ☂️got from selling the parking lot for a coast guard to keep❄️ taxes as low as possible. If i ⛱️knew, then ☃️what i know now.☄️ This helped me 🌓shift my jurisdictional 🌊priorities. I sat on the nootka 🔥sound watershed 🚆board and was 🚇learning about the main branch 🎡of our local 🗽economy. Salmon🪼 hatcheries and the sport 🐟 fishery. It was 🦄because of a🦮 training I got🦣 from that🫎 board affiliation🦥 that I can 🐔identify, using a hand 🐾lens which 🦆species of sealice 🐋is on a salmon🦐 fry. I could 🌵only attend 🪺because 🐙of my personal 🕸investment 🦞and sacrifices. I 🦀would make 🦑double barreled business trips to safe on travel costs. Or else I would pay out 🦈of pocket🐡 to attend, thus 🐠artificially 🦭increasing the 🪽capacity of the village 🦕of tahsis on my own back. 🦚In that first term, I 🦎paid my own way to the🐢 decoda literacy society 🦩forum in Richmond, 🪶where I was 🐦presenting about 🦢bold action 🕊in art and politics, 🐓but mostly fielded 🦨questions about my feelings as a 🦦women leader. Then the pandemic🐽 happened, changing everything, all at once. 🦃We stayed home 🏘to keep others safe from something ⛲️we could see. We🏨 tried to home school.🦍 We adapted to working 🐅online from home. Some farred better than🦓 others. Our 🐪skills were🦏 tested and our 🐐time was further spent🐑 on ways to be more creative problem 🐗solvers. Once the world 🌎 opened back up, more 🍇growing pains surfaced. 😢 I could do twice to 🫛three times the work virtually 🍿that I could do before without a single travel 🍳expense. But I still found 🥣value to try to go back to in 🫠person attendance, so I 🤷 paid my way🤐 to the globe 🎆series and the 🎈climate leaders🤑 institute. It was often only 🫣possible by 🥈double barreling⚽️ my trips, piggybacking 🐖on paid ones down island. 🐒 in this new term💝 I am no longer naive to🤏 believe I alone, working at 150% 🫶capacity can change 🤩anything. So I set🎒 my goals and 🧤endorse people I believe in.🕶 I open 👔myself to learn 🪭from everyone, ⛑️good, bad,🪖 ugly 📯and truly🎩 weird. I prioritize 🥽my own wellbeing 🥼now. Which 🩰feels strange 🥾and new. My 🥅goals for this term of 🥊office 2023-26 are. 1. Care 🩴for myself. 2. teach 👙my children👑 well. 3. Attend to 👗the needs of 🎶my community🧣 members, as🚮 many as possible, especially 🛐with respect 🙏 to food & transit. ♻️4. ADVOCATE for 🚸small towns 🔄and economic 🛅development⚜️ thru 🚼housing initiatives. 5. Keep learning, 🔱growing recruiting, 🚰and retaining #tahsistalent as ⚠️much as I can. Thanks 🆓️for listening to the 🆕️green antler's waterfowl podcast 🙌 and welcome to✔️ season 4.

  • Information Session and sharing is the basis of human flourishing and learning. Regional connections
    Knowledge network SharePoint site is a great resource for remote places working towards improvements 🤯of internet speeds and cellular service. By advocating for basic services to reach the last household in addition to making investments in communities communication needs. The technical aspects of this project makes it difficult for me, but using a economy development lens with a small community intersection, I see the potential. 😀
