West Kootenay Regional Executive Special Election Candidates

My name is Heidi McNair. As a nurse I see the struggles of our healthcare system, the need to support each and every individual in their mental heath journey as no two experiences are the same when it comes to experiencing mental health injuries/illness and how it can affect your work and home life. I feel that it is important to eliminate that stigma of mental health to ensure that everyone can receive and benefit from supports they need to lead a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. With more than 20 years in the healthcare profession, and a strong academic foundation including a Bachelor degree in Arts/Education/Psychology and 14 years as a LPN, my work/life experience has equipped me should you choose me as regional Mental Health Rep.
