Linda Palm is the General Manager for PacificSport Fraser Valley, and has had a passion for sport her entire life, playing all available sports while growing up in a remote rural community, finding her niche in curling and softball. Competitively, her accomplishments took her to provincial championships but her strongest achievements arose from sport event management in swimming and slow pitch. As a parent of a nationally-ranked swimmer, Linda dedicated her volunteer life to the sport from the club level through to the provincial governing Board of Directors. Throughout her life, she has remained active in her chosen sport of curling.

 

After a long career in business, Linda returned to University to study Leisure & Sport Management, graduating from UBC in 2000 with a degree in Human Kinetics, including a minor in Commerce, and simultaneously landing a role with PacificSport Fraser Valley. Linda has a strong commitment to assisting sport organizations at the governance level. She currently serves on the Abbotsford Sports Council, Sport Langley Advisory Committee, Chilliwack Spirit of BC Community Committee, and Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame. Past organizations served include BC Games Society, BC Disability Sports and Coaches Association of BC. Linda's new favourite pastime is spending time with her growing family of grandchildren.
