Jenn spends her free time volunteering for the Vancouver Island Amateur Hockey Association aiding in community programming and access for children and youth ages five to twenty-one. She lives in Victoria with her husband of twenty-seven years and has five children. Jenn is honoured to be a supporter of Beedie Luminaries and looks forward to working together to support the future of humankind through affordable education.
