Dale enjoys performing weddings, baptisms and funerals for everyone, including LGBTQ+. She is pleased to affirm the right of adults to marry those whom they love.

Volunteer Activities

Dale organizes two music activities in her community.  She arranges monthly afternoon concerts for the East Sooke Rough Voice Singers and also for the Metchosin Rough Voice Singers. These are very popular as local community members love to sing and visit with their neighbours/newcomers.

She participates in the “First Patient” program where she is teamed with two first year medical students. She is also a volunteer with the Clinical Studies program which involves meeting Jubilee students and their instructors and being a guinea pig for a variety of examination procedures.
