We wish everyone a lovely three day weekend looking at those beautiful, very early, spring flowers. We look forward to helping you all when we are back in the office on Tuesday morning at 9am.


Jane is honoured to support SVSS by serving as President on the Board of Directors.


Jane has 25 years' experience working for non-profit organizations and post-secondary educational institutions in Edmonton. She has served as executive director, fundraiser, special events planner, and volunteer manager at a local, provincial and federal level. As capital campaign director, Jane raised $20.0M for a multi-court sport facility and lead a $14.0M capital campaign toward the building of a humane society. She has served as volunteer on several non-profit boards and has taught board governance through a local college.


Jane and her husband Greg moved from Edmonton to Victoria in 2015 to be closer to extended family and to enjoy all that Vancouver Island has to offer. Her happiest times are spent exploring the Island, traveling overseas, reading, and hiking the beautiful Saanich area parks with her dogs, Huxley and Lily.

Josh is honoured to be volunteering with SVSS. He, his wife and their dog are happy to call Saanich home for the last two and half years.   Josh has had a 25 year career in the public and private sector in transportation and road construction in Saskatchewan.  He feels very fortunate for the valuable experience and knowledge he gained working and learning with very good people over the years. 


He looks forward to making great connections with SVSS during his time on the SVSS board.


Enjoying life to the fullest while keeping busy with many activities is Josh's typical 'way of being'. He looks forward to keeping SVSS on the financial straight and narrow while also enjoying his time in beautiful Saanich.
