Carole Taylor: A life of service and giving back
Carole Taylor broke ground as a journalist and has never stopped since. She has always seen service and giving back as part of life, which has driven her to a career path that includes being a chancellor of Simon Fraser University and a political career as an MLA and Minister of Finance. Most notably, she introduced North America’s first carbon tax, which served as a model for other provinces and states, as well as ending the corporate capital tax on banks.
