2017 Tim Jones Community Achievement Award Recipient

Picture
Jennifer Hewlett is the founder of Fresh Air Life.  
  
Over the past 30 years Jennifer has been welcoming people to join her in the great outdoors.  In 1997 Jennifer went for a walk in the woods in beautiful Deep Cove, which is situated at the base of the spectacular north shore mountains.  It was not long after that women started to join her on a regular basis.  It was clear that there were so many people in search of fresh air and friendship.  Hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, trail running, volunteering and traveling were many of the wonderful experiences that Jennifer has been able to share with her community of women and beyond.  

In 2017 Jennifer was awarded the prestigious Tim Jones Community Award for her contribution to the  North Shore community and her passion for sharing her passion of the great outdoors with so many people in the Greater Vancouver region.  

Fresh Air and Friendship have been the foundation of her life journey.
