Tracey Lazenby, President

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.

Edward Park, Vice President

Edward volunteered as a board member with the LVSS in 2016 and 2017. He has rejoined the board since January 2022.

His background is in the healthcare sector, currently working as the risk management director for the Provincial Health Services Authority. Prior to specializing in risk management, Edward was a social work case manager, serving seniors in the community who have healthcare needs including long-term care case management. During this time, Edward also worked for the Canadian Forces Navy on a part-time basis.

Edward obtained his post-secondary education from the University of British Columbia, Queen’s University, and Cornell University. He holds a Bachelor of Social Work degree (BSW), a Master of Health Administration degree (MHA) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

Edward is excited to rejoin the LVSS board and looks forward to working with all members of the Lynn Valley Services Society and the community at large.
