When she’s not working, Erin can often be found at the Double Ice Complex cheering on her two young hockey players, exploring the outdoors, camping, kayaking, or enjoying a boil-up by the fire with friends and family.

Erin is deeply honoured to serve the residents of Paradise and looks forward to working collaboratively with Council, staff, and community members to continue making Paradise a great place to live, work, and play.
