I’m a Maple Ridge kid……My family roots go back to the 1870’s; my grandmother was a Hampton, one of Maple Ridge’s pioneer families. I attended school in Maple Ridge; a proud Maple Ridge Secondary alumni~ Go Ramblers!

Judy and I raised our two now married children in Maple Ridge and now they in turn are raising our really cute grandkids here.

Judy & I owned and operated Windsor Plywood in Maple Ridge for 24 years, a family business that provided building materials to our community. Since wrapping up the Windsor part of work life, I went to work for the Baptist Housing Society. Taking part in a redevelopment project in Oak Bay and serving as an Administrator for a Maple Towers has been very fulfilling.

Volunteering and serving the community was instilled in me by both my parents and grandparents. Over the years I have served on a number of not for profit community groups that have provided many opportunities to give back to the community that has been so good to our family. It’s been a privilege to serve Maple Ridge for 12 years on Council, 6 of those years as Mayor until November of 2014.

The Maple Ridge Community Foundation has been doing amazing work in our community for 40 years. I feel privileged to be part of the Board of Directors and looking forward to the future holds for the Foundation. #WeAreMapleRidge

Warren Dale was born in South Africa and moved to Maple Ridge in 2010.  He is married to Adrienne, a well-known family lawyer in Maple Ridge. Warren and Adrienne have been married for twenty one years. They love living in Maple Ridge, the perfect place for this stage of their lives.

Warren has two older children, Greg who lives in North Vancouver with his wife and two girls, and Michelle who lives in Connecticut with her daughter. Both Warren and Adrienne have been active in the community since moving to Canada. Warren was Vice president of the Chamber of Commerce in Maple Ridge and a director of the Pitt Meadows Economic Development Board when it existed. They are also involved with Rotary, Hospice and Alouette Addictions.

Warren started a business in Maple Ridge in 2009, called Canamix, which grew very successfully. In 2016 he sold it to a mining company in Langley. He is now essentially retired but still works occasionally as a consultant for the group when he is needed.

Warren and Adrienne are extremely grateful for everything Maple Ridge has given them and try to put as much back in the community as they can. Warren is very enthusiastic and proud to be on the board of the MRCF.

I am Jacqueline Montgomery, a 23 year resident of Maple Ridge. I have two adult children, Breanne and Donnie, plus a wonderful grand-daughter Izabel, they all bring joy and happiness into my life. I am passionate about the environment, love to cook and eat good, healthy food and enjoy wine and laughter with great friends. My role with the Maple Ridge Community Foundation allows me to work with passionate, dedicated and truly amazing community leaders who contribute to the quality of life of the citizens of Maple Ridge in perpetuity. Maple Ridge is a beautiful community and I am happy to call it home.

Our family has now resided in Maple Ridge for 30 years.  My profession was in finance for many years, starting as a teller in a bank and the last years I worked as an Operation Manager for a brokerage firm.   I enjoy cycling, swimming, spending time with family, and knitting and crocheting.   One of my passions is volunteering.  I have volunteered for Girl Guiding, fundraising, and sponsoring families at Christmas.   My most recent volunteering has been with the Maple Ridge Community Foundation which honours our Citizens of the Year, sponsors many community charities through annual grants, and maintains an endowment fund to continue supporting our community for years to come.
