Before taking over the helm at Hope Bay Bible Camp, Bob was a Business
and Marketing Consultant in Grande Prairie, Alberta and Sue worked as
a Medic and Professional Artist.
Bob and Sue took up sailing about 10 years before moving
to Pender Island. They explored British Columbia's West Coast extensively
by boat before settling on Pender to volunteer at the Camp.
Bob and
Sue did not know anyone on the island before the move, however, their
involvement with local contractors and businesses helped them get to know the community quickly.
Bob and Sue love sailing and are very fortunate to live in an area where
they are able to sail around the Gulf Islands and slip over to Victoria
at any time of the year. Sue is also an artist and has no trouble finding
interesting subjects on and around Pender.

Having not yet retired, Bob and Sue are very busy but have plans
to join some of the many local clubs and associations as time permits.
Joining the Yacht Club will be a priority.
Bob says, "We have never been treated better by a realtor than we were
by Sherrie Boyte and her team at Dockside Realty. We have had many real
estate dealings over the years and our experience here was by far the
best and most thorough. Sherrie made sure that we didn't miss a thing
and as we were very busy at the time it was a huge help and relief to
have her onboard."
