Harwinder is happy to call Vernon home. A well-known community activist and nurse at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, she has worked in healthcare for over 15 years. Raised on a farm, she was able to begin nursing with the support of her parents.

Harwinder’s commitment to public service is inspired by her own personal experience of overcoming hardship. She knows how hard it can be to make ends meet and get by. After being left widowed with two toddlers, the experience of being a single, working mother required all her strength. Now married to healthcare worker Baljit, together they are raising three children.

Harwinder is looking out for you – when it comes to strengthening healthcare, protecting people’s rights, and making life better and more affordable for families. She has fought for better healthcare for everyone and fair treatment for nurses with the BC Nurses Union, and advocated for initiatives like the Vernon Food Bank, Sock it to Poverty, Coldest Night of the Year, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. She launched a petition to end hospital parking fees and is standing up for decent wages, housing, the environment, fighting climate change, and support for small businesses.

With Harwinder you can count on someone who will fight for you to make life better.
