- Introducing new HUB Board Liaison
Leanna believes that any day is a good day when a bike ride is involved – especially with friends! She is a certified Cycling BC Ride Leader and currently volunteers as an Associate Ride Leader for the Meraloma Bike Club. She brings a deep knowledge of the Metro Vancouver cycling network and a commitment to enhancing network safety for cyclists across the region. She is also passionate about the community-building power of cycling and believes in breaking down barriers to ensure the accessibility of cycling to everyone.
When she’s not riding a bike, Leanna is a professional urban planner (RPP/MCIP) who has spent the bulk of her career leading community and land use planning initiatives in Indigenous communities across BC. She brings a wealth of experience designing and facilitating community-led policy development initiatives, and empowering marginalized voices to shape the future of their communities. She looks forward to the prospect of contributing her skills in urban planning, policy development/advocacy, community engagement, and organizational governance to HUB’s initiatives.
Leanna is currently the Director of Planning for Sacred Waters Developments, an economic development company jointly owned by Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahmoo First Nation.
