Who We Are

Brian Mairs is a true Canadian - being descended from the Inuit of North Eastern Labrador on his mother's side of the family, and second generation Irish on his father's side. This combination of cultures has allowed Brian to see society from both perspectives - the dominant European society that controls the judicial, religious, government, and business sectors, and the highly spiritual and patient, although often misunderstood Aboriginal peoples.

Brian has attended Douglas College, Simon Fraser University, UBC (via Okanagan University College) and University of Victoria (via Okanagan University College), garnering degrees from the later institution in Arts and Social Work.

Elke Mairs immigrated to Canada in 1965 from Germany and has been married to Brian since 1975. As the better half of Brian Mairs Consulting, Elke is a very active partner in developing the healthy living technologies branch of the business, and provides overall support for all aspects of the business.
