Gail Snelling
Board Member
Gail graduated from UBC with a degree in Rehabilitation Medicine and worked for many years
at Vancouver General Hospital as a physiotherapist. In 2008 she joined NSSRC as a
coordinator and eventually became executive director of the organization, retiring in 2022.
Since retiring, Gail has missed the members the most and following and supporting their stroke
journey back to being an active member of their community. After a stroke there can be a sense
of isolation from friends and possibly family and coming to the Stroke Centre provides an
opportunity to be welcomed and accepted.
Gail grew up on the North Shore and she and her husband have raised their 5 sons in this
community. She has been active supporting various sports organizations and neighbourhood
programs.
