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

Meet Siusan
My husband, John and I moved to Maple Ridge in 2003. It was important for us to live in a community where we could safely raise our family, in a city with that cohesion feel. Our first house we were 2 blocks from all amenities in one direction and 2 blocks the other way we were surrounded with the feeling of the serene country. We knew we chose wisely.
We are beyond proud of our 2 sons Jackson and Sam who were involved in school and community sports and activities. You really get to know your neighbours when cheering on your kids from the side lines. They are currently working on their career paths and excited to see where it leads them.
John and I started a business and partnership with our joint passion for real estate. When selling a home in the community you live and love – it really is special.
‘Give Where You Live’ has always been important to me. Both in monetary and volunteering in person, it continues to be rewarding to me. I was a board member of Athletes in Kind which was an organization that held running events to raise money for families with children with cancer. I coached running groups at a running club and my kids school to share with them my love of running. I was a volunteer chair at the Maple Ridge Summer Games. I was the Vice-Chair of MRSS PAC.
My jam is staying active at my gym and activities at the Rec centres and around town. Also finding adventures to do with my family. At this stage of my life, I love trying new things and not being afraid of the outcome.
With my kids getting older and not needing me as much anymore, it really gives me the opportunity to expand my involvement in the community more. I have been volunteering with MRCF and I am humbled and honoured to now be on the board to offer everything I have to such an impactful organization.
