Board of Directors

Picture
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 Wilson - Director
P.Geol, retired. I’m excited to be part of the Healthy Kimberley team that is committed to working with the community of Kimberley to identify opportunities to enhance the long term health of Kimberley children and seniors through healthy nutrition and physical activity.

Yvonne Keyzer - Director
Yvonne and her husband Frank moved to Kimberley 23 years ago and have raised their three children here. She was privileged to have a Family Practice for many years, but in the past few has shifted her focus to Sports Medicine at Creekside, where she hopes to improve the health and activity of young and old alike. When not working, she can most often be found on the nordic ski trails in the winter, and in the Nature Park or on her paddle board on one of our local bodies of water in the summer, and she is a firm believer that Exercise is Medicine!

Jeff Vallance - Director

Jeff and Lorian and their three kids (Kaitlyn, Ben and Rhys) recently made the long overdue decision to move to Kimberley and enjoy being outside all throughout the year. Jeff is a Professor and Canada Research Chair (in health promotion and chronic disease management) at Athabasca University and currently leads several national and international physical activity and sedentary behaviour research initiatives. 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

Tina has been an avid volunteer since moving to Kimberley with her family in 2008 and
is always keen to organize a fitness or nutrition challenge with friends & colleagues.  Through Healthy Kimberley, Tina hopes to engage others to become even more active members of the community.

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.
