Councillor Maja Tait
MAJA TAIT was born in Calgary, Alberta and raised in the hamlet of Bragg Creek. Her formative early years in Bragg Creek instilled both an appreciation for small town values as well as an insatiable curiosity to see the world beyond immediate borders. Maja lived in Japan and Calgary before moving to Vancouver Island in 1997. Maja’s traveling spirit has also taken her to such places as India, Singapore, Mexico and Europe to name a few.
After exploring various options in the Greater Victoria area, Maja and her husband permanently relocated from Victoria to Sooke in 2006 having recognized the District’s simple abundances of community, natural setting and charm.
In addition to her ongoing career in property management, Maja has also been a dedicated volunteer having worked with Girl Guides of Canada, the Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre and the Craigdarroch Castle Museum Society. Maja, a former Toastmaster, graduated from the Leadership Victoria program in 2006 and is presently an executive member of the Sooke Lioness Lions.
Maja was elected to the District of Sooke Council in 2008 and re-elected in 2011.
