My name is Karen Fraser. During my many years as a stay-at-home mother, my main focus was my children with a small amount of part-time employment and volunteerism. As my children grew and flew from the nest, my volunteerism increased and now takes up most of my time.

I am usually on four different committees, on an ongoing basis, which is one reason I was inducted into our Arts and Culture Wall of Fame and why I enjoy hosting the Seniors News and Views TV show so much.

Over and above my family, church and volunteer time is the time I spend in the political world. I have enjoyed being an active Green party member in Niagara Falls since 2005. Since then I’ve been riding CEO, candidate and campaign manager a number of times.

I constantly encourage everyone to be an educated voter and politically aware. Let’s make Canada the best we can for ourselves and the next generation, knowing that your concerns would be my top concerns.
