She has also had the opportunity to work across a variety of committees and boards that directly impact our communities including the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce, and Surrey Destination Association.

Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers www.solvecrime.ca is committed to fostering a safer environment for all residents by providing a secure platform for individuals to report criminal activity anonymously. This anonymity is essential in encouraging reluctant witnesses to come forward with vital information, leading to the swift resolution of cases and the apprehension of offenders. Tipsters are also eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $5,000 if their tip leads to a charge or arrest. Since its inception, tips to Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers have led to more than 8,400 successful arrests and more than a half-a-billion dollars in the seizure of drugs and property.
