Personal Story – Dr. Michelle Corfield

As a First Nations woman, I have first-hand experience of being marginalized – a story that is often shared with my First Nation sisters. I have lived in poverty, raised children in social housing, and worked several jobs at one time to put myself through university – there was no free ride. I knew that a strong education was the tool for me to dig myself ou

t of the cycle of poverty and provide a better future for my children. It is important to me to be able to model the path forward for my daughter and her friends that as a First Nations women there is opportunity and hope. It was through the transformative change in my life that that I was determined to chart a new course. I used my talents and skills to become a leader in First Nation communities – whether as a technician, facilitator, advisor or elected representative, I realized that to affect real meaningful change in society, I had to rationalize my real-life experiences of oppression and colonization to develop and participate in mainstream society. I began to volunteer and appointed to various boards which were catalysts of becoming more community-driven and serve the residents of Nanaimo-Ladysmith. My passion for the environment and water was instilled in me as a young child – it was freedom and self-sustainability. Today, my inner peace is still my relationship with the environment. I am passionate about protecting our resources and ensure any progress is sustainable. My strong community roots growing up in Nanaimo provides me with the courage, strength and desire to make Nanaimo better – investing in our most vulnerable, preserving what makes Nanaimo unique, and advocating for sustainable economies, only makes Nanaimo-Ladysmith better. I am an educated, experienced, and passionate First Nations woman with strong traditional beliefs and world view that can walk in both worlds. I have a vision of creating meaningful change here in Canada. Integrity – Passionate – Hardworking – Educated – Community-Driven

All over the world, women are more likely to be providing essential services, and doing unpaid care work — and the past two years have shown us how critical people in these positions are. On International Women's Day, we honour and celebrate the women, Two-Spirit people, and non-binary people who are so often the cornerstones of our community. We continue to work towards an equitable world where no one is held back because of who they are. Read more: https://news.gov.bc.ca/26332
