Welcome Home, David Leadbeater

Welcome to the fourth episode of this special series called - Welcome Home. This is a chance to meet some of the new residents to Pender Island, hear why they chose to live here, how they are participating in the community and what the experience of living here has been like so far.

Next up in the series is David Leadbeater. Having been born and raised in Calgary, the idea of living in the Gulf Islands always seemed like a dream to him. Soon after retiring from his career with an excavating company in the Lower Mainland, he and his wife Deanna, made that dream happen.

In this interview, David will describe how he moved to the Fraser Valley in the mid-seventies and met his future wife at a Halloween party. The two stayed in that area for decades raising their two sons. Now all four of them have pooled their resources and are co-owners of the property on Pender. As well, David will speak about and the pleasure he receives from kayaking in the ocean and tell the incredible story of the first home, he and Deanna lived in after they were married, a reconstructed CPR train station. All that and more in a great interview with a great guy. Enjoy!
