Mary Wagner on Facebook 
I was lucky enough to have been born and raised in Langford, and have lived here most of my life. I attended Savory Elementary and then Spencer Jr. High. I went on to study at the University of Victoria where I earned my PhD in Biochemistry.
I have always loved learning and was a keen student. I also enjoyed performing arts, sports and student leadership activities both at school and in the community, and sought out opportunities for community service.
For the past 15 years, I have been teaching biology classes at UVic while raising my family in the heart of Langford. Currently, I am involved in several community groups including Friends of Millstream Watershed, 100 Women Who Care Westshore, and the Westshore Chamber of Commerce. I am passionate about family, nature and community!
