Meet Connie Wilks

Communications, Employee Engagement in Vancouver

How long have you worked at VCH?

Almost 8 years, but I worked at Fraser Health before that, and at Providence Health Care before that!

Your VCH contribution. Tell us what you do at VCH in one sentence.

I attempt to make meaning for the employees of VCH, turning complex HR speak into something more palatable for average folks. And sometimes, it actually works.

One thing that we might be surprised to find out about you:

I’m retiring at the end of May to make more time for the grandkids. And I’m studying toward ordination as a deacon in the Anglican church.

Favorite hobby:

Making beaded jewelry.

Three things you always have in your fridge:

Cheese, wine  (because I don’t drink it very often!) and a jug of water. In my next life, I will always have ice cream in my freezer.

What makes you happy?

Ice cream.

Most healthy habit:

Regularly getting a good night’s sleep.

Favourite vacation spot or place you’ve visited:

Santa Fe, New Mexico – a mystical place.
