About Myself

Hello, I’m Landon. Originally from Calgary, Alberta, my move to Sooke began with an interest in self-reliance and food production, which led me to an organic farming apprenticeship and eventually to Vancouver Island. Here, friends and I started a hobby farm near the Sooke River, and along the way I found a local church community. I live out my Christian faith by serving all people with dignity and respect.

​

My background in food rescue and distribution also connected me to local nonprofit work, and today I serve with Sooke FoodCHI and the Sooke Region Food Systems Network. That involvement deepened my appreciation for our community and has led me into local politics as another way to contribute to the place I’m deeply grateful to call home. I bring a different kind of experience with me and believe strongly that my generation should be represented in decisions about Sooke’s future. The choices we make today will shape the community we inherit and what we leave to those who come after us.

​

A special thank you to Trena Sutton,  T’Sou-ke band member, and PhD candidate. For welcoming me to this territory and acknowledging the work I do stewarding these lands. I am deeply grateful, and look forward to working with them in the future.

 

Thank you kindly.
