During this time, I was also involved with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary to provide yearly teaching to their Hospice Volunteer program. My primary teaching was titled, “The Spirituality of Palliative Care”. I also taught a yearly “Grief and Bereavement” session for the Bow Valley Victim Services Program under the direction of Peter Quinn. 2017-current - I retired and now try to abide by the mantra, “Moderation and Maintenance” as I evolve forward. I am involved with a Condo/Strata Board in Radium were my spouse (Vi) and I retreat too at various times in the year. I was also a member of the approx 72 unit condo board when we lived in Banff. I have also been involved on two church boards during the years. Gordon Rathbone A retired lawyer. He practiced in Banff from 1975 to 2018 and found himself serving three or four generations of some clients’ families by the end of his career. A small town practice requires versatility, and Gord was engaged in a wide range of legal areas – criminal, family, corporate, estate planning and real estate – with an emphasis on business law, which fit well with his background in economics. He enjoys the occasional opportunity to assist former clients who continue to rely on his memory.
He was born in PEI and raised in Calgary. Gord and his wife Leslie Taylor have two grown children and a history of Labradors.

Belinda Boleantu “It is my passion to enable cross-continuum care coordination that allows individuals to make choices about staying at home and at the same time having a wonderful place to spend their last days in the splendor of the Bow Valley. Given the demographics of the Bow Valley population, I believe that PCSBV has a role to play in design for rural populations that supplements the excellent work of the existing AHS Palliative Teams. I hope I can give back to the community some of the expertise acquired through my career with health.” 35
