Chair

Linda Jinks

I was born and raised in Vancouver. My work as a realtor provided me with the opportunity to see many amazing neighbourhoods. As an avid gardener, dog owner & nature lover, West Southlands is the perfect fit for both myself and my family.I am honoured to represent this community.

Director

Cynthia Fung

My family and I moved to the west Southlands neighbourhood more than 20 years ago, attracted by its proximity to UBC and easy access to trails and parks. I love nature and enjoy spending time in my garden. My home is my sanctuary but as a realtor, I also treasure it as my investment. It's a great honour for me to serve the community as a Board Director.

Troy Iwanik

I have spent countless hours walking the trails and enjoying the beauty that West Southlands has to offer. It is truly an amazing part of Vancouver! I am married to Marilla, with two young boys, Tyus and Zander. I want to ensure the neighbourhood stays safe and beautiful. I am an investment advisor with iA Private Wealth thus I have a keen eye for detail, and matters related to finance. I have served on the Board of Directors for the West End Seniors Network previously, and currently serve as Strata President on my condo board.

Director

Kay Teschke

I moved to Vancouver in my early 20s and have now lived in the city for 50 years, over 30 here in West Southlands. When I retired from UBC, my husband and I expected to move away, but every time we looked elsewhere, we realized how much we'd miss the river, the forest, and most of all, our wonderful neighbours.
