Ilona Hale - President
Ilona and her husband, Dave and two teenage boys, Emerson and Oliver, have been enjoying all that Kimberley has to offer in its beautiful mountains and trails for about 20 years. As a family doctor, Ilona believes that helping people stay healthy through more physical activity and healthier eating just makes a lot of sense!

Jeff can be found jogging the trails in the mornings with his two Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers, Sydney and Crosby. He’s excited to learn from, and contribute to Healthy Kimberley, so that Kimberley continues to be a vibrant and healthy community in which to work, live, and play. Tina Slunt - Director

Susanne Dobler - Director
You will most likely find me outside with my two young kids, two dogs and partner Darin enjoying a hike, bike or a ski. Making the move from Vancouver in 2013 was the best decision I have ever made and at the time I didn’t even know the extent of beauty and activities our beautiful town had to offer! We are just so lucky. I am thrilled to bring my creative nature to the Healthy Kimberley team and look forward to developing and growing initiatives that reach members of our community. I hope to make even a small difference in the health and well being of the residents of Kimberley. |

Lisa Oldenburger - Director Kimberley is my chosen home and I am excited to be a part of the Healthy Kimberley team! From my very first visit a piece of my heart stayed here and in 2012 I left my Alberta home to live the mountain life. I believe that Winston Churchill hit the nail on the head when he said “Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.” and look forward to being a part of this vision in this awesome community. |
