True North Vision Centre

Hi! I’m Emily. I’m originally from Waterloo Ontario where I met and married Vincent. I am obsessed with learning about leadership, improving my skill set and expanding on my knowledge wherever possible. This passion proved to be necessary while opening a business with my husband, in a pandemic, in a field I am unfamiliar with. While I may be new to the field of optometry, my passion for health, patient experience and connection with our community have made the transition into this field very fulfilling. Along the way I've developed a deep love of independent eyewear and I hand selected the brands and frames that we carry. Finding the best pair of glasses for each person that comes through our door brings me so much joy. My ten plus years of experience in the fitness industry have become an instrumental part of my new additional role as a Vision Therapist. Helping children and adults of all ages have a more graceful visual system so they can do the things they love with ease is incredibly rewarding.

Hello! I’m Kourtney! I grew up in Kelowna and have recently relocated to northern B.C. My husband and I love nature and wildlife so it felt like the perfect move for our family. I always knew I wanted to work in health care so when I started working in optometry in 2018 I fell in love with it. I graduated the Optometric Assistant program shortly after and love learning everything about Eye care. In the office you will find me smiling and chatting to our patients! Hoping to give everyone who comes in a friendly and welcoming experience. When I’m not at work, I spend my time with my husband raising our two kiddos, exploring the area and tending to our animals!

Calvin is a Mini Australian Labradoodle and is Emily's dog. He loves treats and will curl up in your lap if you sit on the floor. He gets voted employee of the month every month unanimously for his upbeat attitude, his dedication to his job and his unique skill set of calming even our most nervous patients. When he's not at work he can be found exploring the woods near his house, playing with his human family, and sleeping in a warm patch of sun in a perfect cinnamon bun.
