Lineger

On November 15^th vote to elect:

Kimberly Lineger for Islands Trust

I moved permanently to Salt Spring in 1997 after spending 6 years traveling between Steveston, BC and the Gulf Islands. I am a Salt Springer. This Island is my home.

I did my bachelor degree in sociology and a second degree in political science (undeclared) at the University of Victoria. I am presently completing a certificate program in Program Management for Victim Services through the Justice Institute of BC. Professionally, I have worked for the BC Chamber of Commerce as their legislative researcher\committee manager and as an office administrator for the Richmond Women’s Resource Center. I also served a term as Islands Trustee for Salt Spring Island from 2002 to 2005. For the last eight years I have been the Program Manager for the Salt Spring RCMP Victim Services Program and I am a tireless advocate for crime prevention through social development.

My current community involvement includes being the Secretary/Treasurer for the Salt Spring Crime Prevention Association and a Leader for the local Girl Guide Unit. I am also an active and enthusiastic member of the Stitch Dimension Quilt Guild on SSI and when I have any free time, I can be found at the fabric store planning my next quilting project.

During this election campaign, I ask islanders to calmly and carefully consider changes which will benefit Salt Spring’s future. I hope you will think quietly about your dreams for our Island home, and talk candidly amongst yourselves and with the candidates seeking your votes. Get some information. Reflect. Discuss. Stay open. And, most importantly, make room for new ideas. And don’t forget -- your vote is important. For I believe, as a now famous senator from Illinois says, that “Yes, we can change.”
