Fancy Pants

Spreading JOY wherever she goes, Fancy has been an active member of the Vancouver queer community since 2015. She is a former Sister of Perpetual Indulgence and past Ms. Gay Vancouver 40. Her ministry of volunteerism, fundraising and philanthropy led her to volunteer with Outlook TV in 2018.

Representation matters to Fancy so her stories lean towards smaller non-profits and organisations, and marginalised individuals plus groups in an already marginalised community, that need promotion. She has reported on stories in BC, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec.

She is very excited to be the new Co-host for Outlook TV.
