Living in the Kootenays for almost five decades, it was recently that Corinne became more interested in political issues, creating a network of local residents to monitor RDCK services and taxation.

With her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, she worked in rural and First Nations communities. She understands the rural challenges in public access to healthcare and thrives in environments that require thoughtful, solution-based results. Prior to nursing, Corinne and Mike ran Mori Nori Sushi in between several building projects. Mike and Corinne had 4 children, two sons and two daughters, and have been married for 35 years.
