Shelley Downey for Member of Parliament, North Island--Powell River

Shelley Downey has lived on Vancouver Island since 1991. Born in Fort St. John and spending her childhood in Prince George and Hudson’s Hope, her life has been shaped by experiencing the unique challenges faced by small BC communities that rely greatly on natural resource development and the businesses that support them.
 
Shelley graduated in Business Administration in accounting from Grande Prairie Regional College and has done accounting for multiple businesses. Shelley’s business and industry experience spans the fishing, tourism and helicopter sectors.
 
In 2008, Shelley focused her attention on the family drug store when they opened a second store in a nearby community. She mastered the balancing act of starting a business, raising a family and volunteering in her community. In the midst of this, Shelley completed a Bachelor of Arts at Trinity Western University. She also ran a junior youth program located within her church and coached high school volleyball for many years.
 
Public service is part of Shelley’s DNA, serving her fourth term as a Port McNeill councillor and previously as a School Trustee.
