Kim Dumore is a passionate advocate for harm reduction, substance use education, and youth wellness. Serving her second term as a School Trustee in SD42 (Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows), Kim combines grassroots leadership with policy-level impact to champion mental health supports and equitable education.

She is a Project Coordinator at Foundry Ridge Meadows, where she leads initiatives that center youth voices in wellness and community development. Previously, as the Community Action Table Coordinator, Kim collaborated with individuals with lived and living experience, service providers, and families to reduce stigma and promote compassionate responses to the opioid crisis—efforts that helped secure a youth-safe house in Maple Ridge. Kim’s commitment to systems change extends to the provincial level, where she helped develop the One Province, One Plan report through the BCSTA working group. She continues to advocate for stronger, non-judgmental substance use curricula in schools and was instrumental in making SD42 the first district in B.C. to implement an Opioid Education Response Report, including Naloxone training for all students by Grade 10.

Known for her collaborative spirit and unwavering dedication, Kim brings lived experience, deep empathy, and bold advocacy to every table she sits at.
