President - Chris Warrick
I moved to Sydney in 2004 to set up the AsiaPac operations for Multimap. My wife Caroline and I have 5 year old twins who were born in Sydney a month or so after we arrived. I was born on The Rock (St. John’s, Nfld.) but lived in Toronto and Vancouver before emigrating to the UK in 1982 and thence to Australia. We’ve settled in Birchgrove since we arrived but we are currently living on the Balmain/Rozelle borders whilst our new house is being built.

Originally from Edmonton, Alberta I've been fortunate enough to call Sydney 'home' for the last 20 years. I've been actively involved in the club since 2005, holding positions of President and Newsletter Editor. Thought it was time to lend a hand in the role of Membership Coordinator. You'll only get as much out of the club as you put into it - so come along to the events and meet your fellow members!

Like many members I am the Canadian half of a Canadian/Australian couple. I'm originally from Vancouver although I have spent time in Sackville, New Brunswick attending Mt A and Toronto. I'm looking forward to planning great events for the club including Canada Day and Thanksgiving. If you have any ideas on what kind of events you would like the club to organize please email me, I would love to hear from you!

I’m originally from Ottawa, Ontario (Go Sens!!) and have been living and working in Sydney for 3 years now. I’ve had a recent visit from my mother, so I am all stocked up with maple syrup, Vancouver 2010 wear, and a team Canada hockey jersey. As much as I love the weather and lifestyle, it’s a long way from home and it’s great to meet people who watch hockey, celebrate Canada Day and Thanksgiving, and who understand what freezing rain and -40 degrees feels like.

Hi! I'm Chris, and I'm a Sydney born and bred Aussie. I also lived in Oakville, Ontario for a year on exchange and I've since been back a few more times, so Canada feels somewhat like a second home to me now! Like many of our club members, I'm an Aussie with a Canadian partner and we joined the club to try and help her stay in touch with her Canadian roots. In the process we both found a fun group of people to hang out with!
