Roxie Giles
Dîner en Bleu
Meet Roxie
Having called Blueridge home for over 40 years, stepping up to help coordinate the community’s Dîner en Bleu felt like a natural fit. Roxie and her partner, Don, first attended the event when it was hosted on Arroyo Court back in 2019, experiencing firsthand what a wonderful way it is to connect with neighbours. Drawing on deep local roots—including longstanding connections with area schools and churches—she helped make logistics like event seating seamless, backed by a talented network of neighbours.

Background & Community Spirit
With a professional background as a teacher and extensive experience collaborating with musicians, Roxie brings a natural big-picture perspective and organizational flair to the Dîner en Bleu team. Known for being upbeat, dependable, and community-focused, she loves the generational continuity of the neighbourhood: “When our children were younger, quite some years ago, I recall enjoying Christmas cheer and singing on our street. When we arrived our children were the youngest, now we are the old ones!”
