As a dedicated community activist and diligent City councillor, Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds-Grenville, Jane Fullarton is often venerated for her dedication and compassion. Over the years Fullarton has served her community in a variety of capacities, as a School Board trustee, a volunteer for the community distress line with Developmental Services and as a successful independent business owner. To describe her in the simplest of terms, two words come to mind; big smile, big heart. Here Fullarton takes a few moments to answer Ten Questions for the Observer.
