My name is Viv Fox. I have lived in Prince George since 2012. I am in my 13th year with the Canadian Armed Forces, Infantry Reserves. I trained the first platoon through the newly re-instated Rocky Mountain Rangers, Bravo Company, here in PG in early 2012 and moved up in the fall of that year, to continue to build and train for the unit and also because I knew PG was where I belonged.
Outside of the military, since moving to PG I have worked with Northern Health as an outbreak software instructor in 2013 (I also taught a part-time teen fitness bootcamp at the Blackburn Community Centre); the 2015 Canada Winter Games as a security planner and venue coordinator and Geoterra as their corporate health and safety manager, from 2015 -2016.
From Oct. 2016 to present, I have been a regional manager with Emergency Management B.C.
Since moving here I have been a part of many clubs and organizations, as a member or volunteer, including the PG Toastmasters, the Caledonia Ramblers, the Recycling and Environmental Action Planning Society, the Blizzards, the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club, the Shaolin boxing club, the Prince George Brain Injured Group, the Groop Gallery art auctions, the Nechako Theatrics Society, the Salmon Valley Women's Festival, UNBC Continuing Ed, CNC sciences, the Canadian Society of Safety Engineers, the White Spruce City Chorus, the inaugural Steps for Life Prince George walk in 2016, Saint Vincent de Paul Thanksgiving and CPAH Connect Week.
I am passionate about safety, sustainability, emergency preparedness, arts, music and multiculturalism and inclusion. I am also a huge book nerd (I own around 500 books), visual artist and animal lover (I have five SPCA rescues). I also sometimes enjoy riding my motorcycle and jumping out of airplanes.
