I have lived in Redwood Meadows with my husband, Erik Anderson, and two children since December 2005. We love it out here for the great friends and neighbours, the deer wandering through our back yard, and the skiing and biking close by. I also love my 8-minute walking commute to Redwood House to teach fitness classes. The only “traffic” that slows me down is the neighbours I stop to chat with along the way.

I’ve been co-editing and writing for Redwood’s newsletter, the Chatter, since 2007 and am also a member of the Redwood Meadows Community Association and the Redwood Meadows Sustainability Committee, which started in January 2011.

As fellow members know, I’m not really a meeting person, so how I ended up on two committees is beyond me. I guess it’s because I want to be involved in the community and these groups allow that. I love to know what’s going on locally and help out where I can. My family and I have volunteered at brunches and Canada Day events, fundraising bingos, and whatever else requires people power.

That being said, I didn’t really want to write this profile since I can think of so many other people who contribute much more to this community. Without them, without all that energy, Redwood Meadows wouldn’t be the great neighbourhood it is.
