Board & Staff

Having grown up in both Europe and Vancouver, Tracey moved to the North Shore in 1990 and then finally settled with her family in Lynn Valley in 1997. She felt very lucky to be a stay-at-home-Mum to her 3 children and volunteered for years as a PAC member and fundraiser at both Lynn Valley Elementary and Argyle Secondary schools. A few years ago, she started as a front desk volunteer at Mollie Nye House and quickly developed an appreciation for this tiny Community Centre and the community it serves. Mollie Nye House is such a very special, inclusive, welcoming, and friendly place. As first a board member and now president, she will strive to contribute to both the operation and growth of Mollie Nye House and to participate more fully in the community at large.

I have spent the majority of my career working in large public sector organizations, such as the Government of Saskatchewan, Government of Alberta, University of British Columbia, and the City of Vancouver.I was born and raised in a rural area of Saskatchewan where my family emigrated in the early 1900s. In my spare time, I love to spend time outside hiking, biking, camping, running or climbing. I also enjoy a good book on the patio, DIY home project, and a glass of wine.
