Judy's longstanding professional involvement in protected areas planning and management began in 1982. She has held a variety of park planning and managerial positions with Parks Canada, ranging from Chief of Visitor Services at Yoho National Park, to Senior Park Planner for the Rocky Mountain national parks, and acting Assistant Superintendent at Banff National Park. The bulk of her time was devoted to completing management plans for Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Waterton Lakes national parks. Since leaving Parks Canada in 1996, Judy has been in demand as an environmental planning consultant. Her clients have included the towns of Banff and Canmore, Parks Canada, the Alberta Government, the G8 Legacy project and private landowners. She has also been an active volunteer for local conservation efforts such as the Bow Valley Special Places initiative, and chaired Canmore’s Environmental Advisory Review Committee.
