Zoe is a devoted and experienced leader. 

A dedicated volunteer, Zoë donates a large portion of her Council salary each year to support local causes. "Inclusion and volunteerism are part of our family philosophy", she says. "Inclusivity builds bridges, creates lasting relationships and the cultural sharing that comes from it is truly extraordinary." When her own daughters were growing up, she and her family welcomed international exchange students into their home from countries around the world, who needed a place to live while studying here. Zoë also participated on the board of Access Youth Services, served meals to homeless persons on night shifts at TriCities shelters, and hosted fundraising events for Crossroads Hospice, Earth Day and the Port Moody Arts Centre. She ran highly successful fundraising campaigns for Golden Spike Days, special events and school projects.
