Q: What do you like to do on your days off?

A: I enjoy mountain biking, hanging out with my dogs and kid.

 

Q: Where is your favourite place in BC?

A: What a tough question! It’d have to be Otway, Prince George (for mountain biking), and any lake or oceanfront with clear blue water.

A: “Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves” by Eurythmics.
