On A Personal Note
Roberta originally comes from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and still cheers for the WHL Raiders, even when they come to the CN Centre to face the Cougars.
Prince George has a similar profile to her hometown: a resource-based regional hub, so she felt comfortable upon arrival. She is now a fixture here in the local community, often seen on the running trails of the city and competing in an ever-growing number of half-marathons. Roberta and her husband Steve take full advantage of the hiking and backcountry bounty the area has to offer.
After serving for 6 years as a governor for the Real Estate Foundation of British Columbia, Roberta joined the board of the Prince George Community Foundation in the spring of 2024.
