Derek Pinto: Director at Large
For as long as Derek can remember his passions have been community building and caring for the earth. Derek grew up in the suburbs of Ottawa. Raised in a stable home by loving, devoutly Catholic parents, he learned the value of true friendships built on service, sacrifice and trust. He took this strength of character from his home life with him to Peterborough Ontario where he attended Trent University. Graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Geography and a minor in Psychology Derek spent years exploring cultures and the planet, living and working in Guyana, Bolivia, India, and Mexico, to name a few. Derek has had too many jobs to list here. They range from white water rafting guide to Ministry of Natural Resources Science Branch media and public relations specialist to press secretary and handler for a national federal leader’s election tour to water treatment technician and university instructor. In 2014 Derek moved to Vic West where he owns a home with his wife Joanne. He is a licensed strata manager and is soon to own and operate his own strata management brokerage (all going well). Derek hopes to contribute good governance, community building projects, and environmental stewardship to the Vic West Community while living simply so that others may simply live.
