William R MarshallHaving lived in over thirty different locations across Canada, William R. Marshall has witnessed-and indeed lived-all kinds of different lifestyles from across the nation. Observant and insightful, with a degree in anthropology under his belt, he als could not help but think deeply about these different ways to live as he did so. His professional life has involved designing, writing, and editing publications in association with distinct communities-neighbourhood associations, wildlife rescuers, post-secondary students, people with disabilities, folk singers, a boating organization, and everything in between. In addition to this work, Marshall has been the healthy communities coordinator for Coquitlam, BC and also acted as the president of a strata council. In all, his experience-both professional and personal-has led him to believe deeply in the power of community for shaping happy, healthy lives-no small part of his inspiration in writing this, his first book. He lives in Port Coquitlam, BC with his wife of fifty-five years. Read More Read Less
