Lorna Mikkelson

I have lived in the Comox Valley since 1994, working both in the public sector as an elementary educator for 35 years in various parts of B.C., and in the private sector running tourist and logging businesses with my husband until 2022. I have always loved being around horses and children, so a position on the CVTRS Board is a real pleasure.

Leslie Duran

Leslie is an occupational therapist and an educator who has lived in the Comox Valley since 2001. She works in community health care, and is also an Adjunct Faculty member of the Department of Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science, Faculty of Medicine at UBC. She completed her doctorate in education in 2017. Leslie believes strongly in the potential of therapeutic riding to benefit health and wellness. She is enthusiastic and honoured to serve on the Board of Directors for the Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding

Marilyn Wortley

Marilyn is a retired horseback rider, having owned and ridden horses for many years. She enjoyed trail riding in Alberta for twenty-five years before moving to the Comox Valley in 1995. Riding in Alberta (when it was warm enough) meant dealing with lots of mosquitoes and horseflies. Not so in the Comox Valley – wonderful trail riding here.
