Bev DicksBev has worked in the Child Welfare field for the past 23 years. She was born and raised in Newfoundland, and graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work specializing in rural social work practice from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1983.
After working in her home province as a generalist social worker for five years, she moved to Prince Rupert, BC, in 1988. Bev worked with rural and on reserve Aboriginal communities across the North West for the next twelve years. It is through this work that the power of relationship building in moving our work forward was instilled and consistently reinforced for Bev, and it remains a core value for her today.
In 2000, she moved to Lions Bay and began working with the Vancouver Coastal region. Over her career, she has held the positions of probation officer, adoption worker, protection worker, team leader, area manager, community service manager, child protection manager, Aboriginal services manager, contract and resource manager and director of operations. She is currently working on her Diploma in Public Administration.
