Name: Mike Murray

How long have you called Maple Ridge home? I have lived here since 1995, and worked here since 1977.

What inspires you to give? I’ve been so blessed with the opportunities my family and I have had here in Maple Ridge, it’s important to give back. You always end up getting back more than you give. It gives one a sense of satisfaction and belonging when you help others.

Do you have a favourite local hangout? Maple Ridge Park, with my grandkids.

What is the kindest thing someone has done for you lately? Someone has stepped up to help with a major fundraising project I’ve been working with for five years. I really appreciate their commitment.

What makes you proud to be from Maple Ridge? It is a wonderful community full of wonderful people who care about each other.

What do you do to keep happy and healthy? I stay involved in my community, attend performances at the ACT, and try to work out regularly.
