Marie was born and raised in Calgary, moving to Strathmore in 1980 with her husband Scott to raise their family.  Scott was self-employed as a cattle broker for 33 years, which is how Marie's passion for small business originated.

​

Along with their two children, Marie and Scott spent many years vacationing in the Shuswap during the summer months, and knew they wanted to reside in the area one day.

 

In 2015 Marie had an opportunity to transfer to Salmon Arm as a relationship Business Account Manger with RBC, managing a client base in the immediate and surrounding areas.

 

After a fulfilling career for 35 years, Marie decided to retire in 2018 to enjoy the beauty of the Shuswap and activities she loves to do.  Her hobbies include dragon boating, golf, swimming, curling, travelling, gardening and spending time with family and friends.

​

Marie is an active volunteer with Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue and is the Treasurer for the Eagle Valley Dragon Boat Society.

​

She looks forward to representing Sicamous and area to promote small business growth in our communities.
