Fiona E. Walsh

In 2009, after 40 years of only driving a car, Fiona bought an electric-assist bike and began commuting from North Vancouver to her school in Burnaby. In 2013, she graduated to a much lighter, non-electric bike. In 2015, she donated her car to the Kidney Foundation. She is now a retired teacher, volunteering with North Shore Emergency Management, North Van City and West End Coal Harbour Community Policing Centres and the Edible Garden Project. She also chairs her community residents association.

Fiona joined HUB in 2010 and became a member of the board in the summer of 2012. After breaking her wrist in 2010, while cycling over the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge, she joined the North Shore HUB Committee to work for improvements to the bridge accesses and sidewalks, which we now enjoy. As a director of the BC Cycling Coalition and Canada Bikes, she hopes to act as a liaison and to tackle issues around outdated and/or non- existent TAC standards for cyclists, pedestrians and people on mobility devices.
