Past President: Kevin Finn
Semi-retired rancher
Past member of the Board of Directors of CMR. Castle skier, Cabin owner for 20 years. I retired from the oil business in 2007 and have wintered at Castle ever since. Castle is my “happy place”.
Spent eight years on CMR Board of Directors, four years as chair. I got the call from the Minister of Tourism announcing that the government had just created the Castle Parks and CMR had been left out of the parks in order to insure there was a sustainable commercial core. That was a great day.
One of the most unique things about Castle is the community ownership. This is widely misunderstood by the outside world. I joined the Community Association Executive after leaving CMR’s board in order to raise Castle Mountain Community Associations profile with provincial and municipal government. I also joined the Executive because I understand that CMCA’s interests are not always synonymous with CMR’s and I wanted to insure the community remained independent and had a voice. I joined the Executive because I hugely value all the things CMCA does for our community from fires-mart to potlucks to trail development and I want to see more of this happening. More recently, I took on the role of President of CMCA because following the approval of the master development plan for CMR’s recreation lands, I want CMCA to join CMR to develop a new village plan which meets CMR’s commercial needs while respecting what the community values and needs.
