​Stephanie's Volunteer Services:
Volunteer work at the “Beacon Hill Children’s Petting Farm” 1991-2000.
Assisted in numerous births and provided general care and maintenance for all the animals. Appointed as “Youth and Special Needs Duty Coordinator”. Transported animals to senior care facilities and hospitals in the Victoria area for patients to interact with.
​Volunteer work for the British Columbia SPCA. Activities included dog walking and fundraising.
​
Youth Activity Coordinator for the “Power of Hope Youth Organization”, 2002 to 2010. Their mission statement is: "We unleash the positive potential of youth through art-centered, multicultural, and intergenerational learning programs that value self-awareness, leadership, community, and social change." We provide a variety of workshops to increase awareness of the arts, human perception, and nutrition.
Painting murals around the city of Victoria is also part of the activities for youth; I designed and supervised the projects.
Some examples of murals can be found at 325 Cook Street, Fairfield Cleaners, and 810 Head Street in Victoria. Another example is at Lucky Dollar Foods, a Chinese Grocery on 148 Superior Street. The mural runs along the right side of the building. Since the next lot has a fence nearby, please take a walk to see the full-color version.
Unfortunately, most of the murals are now gone or have been painted over by the city or other owners of the buildings.
