Shannon Farahbakhsh

Former Staff

Shannon, a "prairie girl" from Saskatchewan, moved to Vancouver Island ten years ago, settling in Ladysmith with her husband and three children. To the position of Community Guide in Ladysmith, Shannon brings her sense of humour, great organizational skills, and genuine caring. Her motto is "I make the choice to greet each day with joy and work with the day's challenges".

Shannon has a background as a Hospice volunteer, and worked in a private care home for seniors in Ladysmith for five years. She says this gave her the freedom to honour the wise ones who contributed so much to our society. She has also volunteered over the years to assist children in their spiritual development.

Shannon says with a smile "late at night when the house has gone to bed is when I replenish my spirit".
