Amy Encina has been selected as the Legion’s BC/Yukon Command representative for the 2015 Pilgramage Tour. This Pilgramage will entail visiting Memorials, Museums and Battlefields in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands in recognition of the millions of Allied soldiers and airmen who died in two World Wars.

Amy was recently approached by Big Horn Squadron Executive members, Ron Worth and Blaine Krist with the intent to nominate her for the 2015 Pilgrimage. The Pilgramage is specifically designed for someone who works with youth and is a Legion member.  As the successful candidate, Amy will travel the Okanagan Valley to share her experiences in Europe.
Presently a Second Lieutenant with 232 Bighorn Air Cadets, Amy trains the cadets and is involved in community work especially with the Legion for Poppy Sales and participating in the Candlelight Vigil.

Besides her commitment to Big Horn Squadron and our Branch 97 Legion, Amy has other commitments such as being the President of the McKinney Nordic Ski Club and running the “Ski School” for boys and girls in grades 4 & 5. These children from Sen Pok Chin, Osoyoos Elementary, Oliver’s 2 Elementary schools and the ‘You Learn’ school, learn how to X-country ski.
As if the foregoing isn’t enough, Amy is Mom to three kids two of which she is home- schooling meanwhile she is operating Selah Painting. You may just see Amy painting a house near you.
