| Info | Brett entered into this world at Jubilee Hospital in 1952 and grew up in Cadboro Bay. He attended several local schools, Frank Hobbs, Glenlyon, Gordon Head Jr. and Oak Bay Senior. The post-secondary education he chose was the Culinary Arts program at Malaspina College.
He subsequently worked in various hotels and restaurants throughout the western part of Canada. Then in the late 70s he jumped into the trade school industry by purchasing the Glamour School of Hairdressing, and later expanded his business by opening a uni-sex salon on Blanshard St. Due to the rapid economic decline in the 80s, he sold both businesses and moved to “greener pastures” in Alberta.
Brett contracted out his culinary skills as an instructor to a number of colleges for their culinary and hospitality programs. It was at this time that he met his future wife, Shirley.
In 1987, he returned home to Victoria, but continued with his “out of town” teaching contracts. In 1990, Brett and Shirley married and settled in Saanich. They have one teenage daughter, in high school.
Brett was actively involved in the education system from the time his daughter entered into a co-op pre-school, until they opted her out of the public school system in 2000. He was a three term president of Campus View Parents Advisory Council (PAC). He was also an executive of the District PAC. In 1999, he joined a group of nine other parents in running a successful campaign to overthrow the NDP’s stranglehold on the District 61 school board.
The last five years, Brett has flown to the Northwest Territories and northern B.C., to work as an executive chef at the Diavik diamond project, and as field supervisor for Sodexho. Currently, he is instructing the Hospitality Program at the downtown branch of the Vancouver Career College.
Brett has a long history of volunteer work from chairing a reunion committee of the Glenlyon-Norfolk school to fund raising for national and international charities.
His decision to run in this election was made out of a sense of duty, a compulsion to help “right the wrongs,” rather than a desire to “belly up to the trough.”
