I have lived in the TNRD Area A since 1978 and have been involved with many committees and organizations. There have been many changes that have occurred over the years. I am known for listening to the constituents of the communities and am a strong advocate for what they see as needs and goals.

Hi my name is Usoff and I live in Clearwater, the unceded territory of the Secwepemc Nation. Prior to moving to Clearwater with my wife and 2 sons, we lived in Hong Kong for 15 years. The majority of my childhood was spent growing up in Vancouver and part of it in Hong Kong before my family immigrated.
My career spanned industries from working for the Canada Customs & Revenue Agency/Canada Border Services Agency to apparel manufacturing to HR consulting and finally setting up my own toy manufacturing facility which I still own before moving back to Canada.
My education background is BA in Psychology from UBC and a MSc in Managerial Leadership from Edinburgh Napier University. In the past year I have enriched my skills by taking various medical and rescue certificates such as OFA3 and EMR, ice rescue, swiftwater rescue, confined space rescue, and S100/185 wildland firefighting training. Locally I have worked for Clearwater Volunteer Fire Department, Yellowhead Services, Tim Hortons, KDC Forestry, OH&S Safety Consulting and currently First Response Inc for the Transmountain Expansion Project.
I look forward to the opportunity and privilege to represent the residents of TNRD Area A on the TNRD Board of Directors to work towards an economically and socially inclusive community for everyone in the TNRD, hand in hand with the Secwepemc Nation.

Electoral Area “B” (Thompson Headwaters)
Lee Onslow and her husband Tom spent ten years vacationing in Blue River, enjoying the snowmobiling in the winter soaking up the rays at Eleanor Lake during the hot summer months. They fell in love with Blue River, with its people, with its vast natural resources and with the North Thompson Valley as a whole. They decided to make their stay permeant when they purchased their Blue River home in July 2017.
Since arriving with her family, Lee has been very active in the community of Blue River. She has rallied community members to revitalize and transform the Blue River Community Garden. She has pursued many grant funding opportunities for the community and has organized hundreds of volunteer hours. Lee sits on the board of directors for the Blue River Powder Packers. During her time on the board she was instrumental in renewing the society bylaws and played a large roll in the creation and hiring process for a general manager of the club. Lee is the chair of the Blue River Trails Working Group committee, a committee that has worked closely with Simpcw First Nation, local government, businesses and forestry to create a trails network plan for Blue River. Lee has been a member of the recently dissolved Thompson Headwaters Services Committee, which was an advisory committee to Director Stephen Quinn.
Lee Onslow enjoyed a successful career as a professional saleswoman in the highly competitive oil and gas industry in Calgary prior to her move to Blue River. Her career began when she was hired on as Canada’s second female drilling fluid technologist (mud-man) and worked on the rigs in North East BC for five years. She then utilized her field experience to excel at a sales career for 11 more years, building customer relations, completing technical documents and sales bids, and managing all aspects of multi -million dollar accounts. As well, Lee was on the board of directors for the Calgary Women in Energy and was their technical director for three years.
When elected
Lee will commit to working hard for the communities of Blue River and Avola. She will advocate for services based on the needs and wants of the community members. She will ensure their voices are heard at the TNRD Board of Director meetings. Lee understands many of the issues facing our communities and she will bring a wide range of knowledge, life experiences and skills to work for and on behalf of the constituents of Area B. Lee has integrity and she is honest. She has strong ethical principles and has the ability to be a respectful participant in discussions, to understand different points of view and to work collaboratively to achieve common goals.
Lee is passionate about economic diversity, fiscal responsibility, community health and food security.
Lee asks that you give her the opportunity to be entrusted with making decisions that affect the daily lives of the citizens, businesses and organizations within the TNRD.

Electoral Area “E” (Bonaparte Plateau)
Community-minded Jim has called 70 Mile House his home since 2013; but has enjoyed the beautiful Cariboo area with his family since the 1970s. He worked in management throughout his career and volunteered with both the South Green Lake Volunteer Firehall and Snowmobile Club. His intention is to work with all Area E communities and First Nations groups to improve communication, push for proactive fire smart programs, and develop economic improvement strategies.
I have lived in TNRD Area E since 1986 and represented the constituents of the Area since 2002. As an Electoral Area Director I have assisted Community Associations to access funding for many different projects, including upgrades on Loon Lake Community hall, Green Lake Snowmobile Club and 70 Mile Community Hall. Both Loon Lake Volunteer Fire Department and South Green Lake Volunteer Fire Department are now operated by the TNRD. There have, over the years been struggles to keep different Transfer Stations open and to provide services for people who have a difficult time having their voices heard.
Throughout my service in this position, I have produced a monthly update of concerns for area residents that is available in the Clinton Lariat and on Facebook “Director Sally Watson TNRD Area E Bonaparte Plateau”
I have over the years received an education on governance and the workings of Local government. I look forward to continuing serving our communities with transparency and integrity in the use of Taxpayer funds.
There have been many positive changes made in the way the TNRD is operated, and I look forward to working with a new board that may have the same goals of transparency and integrity in the use of Taxpayer funds.
Regional Districts are not in the taxation business, they are in the business of providing services paid for by taxation.

Electoral Area “I” (Blue Sky Country)
My story begins in 1988 when I decided, after 16 years in telecommunications, I would move to Spences Bridge and learn the intricacies of becoming a fruit and vegetable farmer.
Dad needed help on the farm and I was a single parent raising three children. My long hours at the phone company meant I was away far to often for the kids and moving to the farm made access to myself (Dad) a 24/7 part of the raising children equation.
My oldest, Kevin, was going into fourth grade, Kyle second and Kristen first grade. To my surprise the Spences Bridge school was a “one room schoolhouse” that taught grades one thru six. However, after the first year it was closed and the kids went to Ashcroft Elementary the following year.
In 1990 I met the most wonderful Paulet who became my wife in 1991, along with her two beautiful girls, Jessica and Andria. Our families became one!
My Dad had taught me how to prune, plough, harvest, market our product at the Hilltop Gardens fruit stand within a short timeframe. There was so much more than I had imagined to the art of farming.
As my comfort level improved my love of community and soccer (which I have played and coached for most of my life) led me to attend many meetings…tourism, steelhead, MOTI, Gold Country etc. I became involved in the community club, often reporting back my observations from the meeting.
My passion for writing kicked in also as I wrote for the local paper and had articles addressing rural concerns also published in the Sun, Province and Kamloops Daily News. In the early nineties I decided to write and publish our own community paper, the “Bridge Bulletin”. It was a labour of love, but keeping the community informed was important and I enjoyed my time in doing so with the paper.
During this time I coached kids soccer for many years in Ashcroft and was playing myself in the Kamloops league a couple times a week. Soccer remains a true passion!
Lastly politics. My lovely wife suggested that instead of complaining (in my articles I sent to the papers) maybe I should run for the TNRD office and see if I could move the needle forward to address some of my concerns. I did just that and ten years later I have had some success at doing just that…loving most every minute.
I consider myself a community advocate that wears the label of a politician.

Tricia Thorpe and her husband lost their retirement dream when their home and farm was totally destroyed in the 2021 Lytton Wildfire that consumed some much of the Lytton Community. Don and Tricia with the help of an incredible group of friends and volunteers are currently rebuilding their hobby farm.
Since the Lytton Wildfire Tricia has been a very vocal and public advocate for the entire community, but in particular for those residing within Area I of the TNRD. Tricia currently serves on both the TLKemchEEn Firesmart Committee and the Lytton Unmet Needs Committee.

As a long-time resident of Savona, he is aware of the challenges that not only his area faces, but all communities within the TNRD. Michael would be committed to learning from his colleagues and educating himself to make informed decisions that will benefit his community and the TNRD as a whole.

Electoral Area “L” (Grasslands)
My name is Doug Haughton, and I am hoping to be elected as the next TNRD Area “L” Grasslands director. I was born and raised in the grassy hills of Knutsford, BC, just south of Kamloops. My parents, Ernie and Lillian, and my family have farmed and ranched in the area for over 100 years. I graduated in 1975 from Kamloops Sr. Secondary, then attended Olds Agricultural College for a few years, where I earned a diploma in Agricultural Business.
I’ve been married to my wife, Laurie, for almost 20 years, and we have 4 grown children and one grandson. My wife taught school in SD73 for 20 plus years, and I recently retired from my career of selling John Deere farm equipment after 39 years. We also run yearling grass heifers on our ranch every year, put up a bit of hay, and have deep roots in the agricultural community.
I have been involved in 4H since I was a young boy, and continue to actively participate not only as a competitor but also as a volunteer at the local and provincial levels. I’ve served on many Boards and enjoy judging livestock and promoting and supporting the rural interests of my community.
I am looking forward to this new challenge, and I believe that with my level of knowledge and understanding of my own Area “L” community, along with my connections and familiarity with the needs and concerns of the entire Thompson-Nicola Regional District, I will be a strong voice and an approachable advocate for the people that I hope to represent.
Respectfully,
Doug Haughton

Electoral Area “P”(Rivers and the Peaks)
Working for the Provincial Government for the last 33 years, I’ve gained valuable experience advocating for the citizens of British Columbia, both locally and throughout the province, who may be less familiar with resources that are available to them.
My husband, Bob, is a local truck driver for Richmond Steel Recycling (formerly Kamloops Scrap Iron) and our son Shaun Barrett (who is also a Kamloops Fire Fighter) runs the place.
Living in Pritchard, for over 30 years, I’m very familiar with small town living and the unique needs of rural communities. Our concerns are often presented in a manner that does not address specific issues that can be distinctive to our circumstances. A one size fits all approach often has many of our concerns put on a back burner or completely slipping thru the cracks. I believe one of the most important communication tools is listening. With a good understanding of individual concerns, communities can work together with local, provincial, and federal government resources to resolve challenges they may be facing.
I would be honored to be the united voice both representing your concerns as well as providing you with ongoing information regarding TNRD services and developments in your area.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, I would be happy to hear from you, please don’t hesitate to connect.
