Gail Riddell
Gail Riddell has lived in W. Sechelt for almost ten years, having fled the big city after taking early retirement. A main focus of her life (besides her new husband, Ian) is environmental issues - she served for two years on the board of the Sierra Club of BC, and four years on the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association board. She has also been active at CapU, with University Women's, and is a long-time board member of West Sechelt Community Assn. Gail and Ian travel often, spend many weeks each summer at their isolated cabin up the coast, and are keen dragon boaters during the spring/summer months. Between them, they have five grown children and one grandchild, most of whom live in BC. Gail believes that West Sechelt is a unique geographical setting and community, and works to ensure that appropriate planning is undertaken by the municipality and developers.
