Transforming Stories, Healing Communities, Leading with Purpose, and Inspiring a Brighter Future through Creative Expression
Elaine
Cheung
I’m Elaine Cheung, a dedicated White Rock city councillor, community advocate, and intuitive healer, committed to making decisions that benefit our community both now and in the future. My leadership is driven by the belief that we must make choices—sometimes difficult—that will benefit the community as a whole, both now and for generations to come. This is grounded in careful research, listening to all perspectives, and ultimately making decisions that ensure the long-term well-being of our community. As a healer, I have spent years guiding others toward emotional and physical well-being, helping them release emotional burdens and achieve holistic healing. My passion for community extends beyond politics—whether organizing events like White Rock Pride Family Day or volunteering with local organizations such as the White Rock Farmers Market and Semiahmoo Arts Society, I am committed to creating an inclusive, thriving community where everyone has the opportunity to grow and heal. Through my work in public service and healing, I strive to make a lasting, positive impact on those around me.
