Mia (Barb) Webster

But just what is a grad reunion? In the 30 (already?!) years since high school, I’ve never been to one. My middle son organizes Raves, anything like that? Will there be a cocktail hour, for mingling? How else will I talk of the exploits of my eldest son, the snowboarder? Do you need music? My youngest son is really into that. As you see, I haven’t changed dramatically, still love to be surrounded by men, especially my three guys and their father – my mate of 24 years. Since he and I met picking grapes under the Côte de Rhone sun, we travelled extensively, schooled in several cities and then set up home in Montréal. Eclectic cultural and business experiences brought me to Radio-Canada (CBC’s French television, despite the name), where I am currently energized, overseeing the visual research for the documentary unit as well as the new Prime Time show “Une heure sur terre” (or “supplémentaire” as we like to joke). I love to dance, ski/snowboard, drink wine and be outdoors, but also thrive on the urban life. Our downtown century home is in walking distance of most of the great venues and festivals this big city offers. I left West Vancouver right after high school and return on occasion - my parents are still in the same home they built, with my old bedroom, the “Mia museum”, intact. I have only kept in contact with a few, VIP “Hillsidites”, so I am curious and eager to see you all again and exchange life stories.
