ASTORIA RETIREMENT RESIDENCE, GENERAL MANAGER

Where do you shop regularly in the Tri-Cities?

There is a few regular places you can fi nd me. You can usually fi nd me once a week at the European Bakery on Shaughnessy Street, the PoCo Farmers Market through the summer and, if I am looking for something for my little lady, Willow, you will fi nd me at Bosley’s in PoCo.

What is your favourite Tri-City trail to hike, cycle or run on?

There are several hikes through the Minnekhada Regional Park. I would say the Addington Lookout and High Knoll would be my favourite and they are pet friendly.

Where in the Tri-Cities would you take out-of-town visitors?

A must see for all visitors would be Belcarra Regional Park and

White Pine Beach, and stopping for a cone at Rocky Point Park.

Where do you eat with friends and family in the Tri-Cities?

When I am not dining at the Astoria, I grab a bite and some beverages at San Remo’s, Provincial Spirits or the Gillnetter Pub.

What is your favourite annual event, festival or gala in the Tri-Cities?

I love the May Day parade. It is a lot of fun and entertaining, but hands down the PoCo Car Show is absolutely amazing!
