This new life involved sleigh rides at Lac le Jeune Resort, draft horse driving competitions, cart and halter classes. For 15 years their family and close friends planned and organized their own 7-10 day horse-drawn wagon and outrider trail rides as their summer holiday. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in General Biology from Thompson Rivers University.

After graduating from South Kamloops Secondary, Paige took some time to travel to places like New York, where she got pulled onto the stage at the Apollo Theatre to dance in front of 1500 people! A walking GPS, Paige has the special talent of being able to go to a place once and forever know how to navigate back.

Paige recently started as receptionist with Interior Elite Contracting and loves being part of the team. She enjoys how comfortable it feels to work at Elite Contracting and loves that she gets to be part of an inclusive team where she can be herself.

At Interior Elite Contracting, Brian upkeeps the safety of the construction sites, cleans up after the crews, and runs intense battles of Dungeons and Dragons. His interactions with his coworkers and clients are the favourite parts of his day. When he’s not succeeding at work, he loves to spend quality time with his favourite people and his beloved pet.
