Andee has been teaching a unique style of yoga in Vancouver for the last 9 years, creating quite a following.

Thus allowing her to experience the art of creating, teaching and healing.
As a model Andee has traveled around the world and has been in many high fashion magazines such as American Vogue, Italian Harpers Bizzar and French Marie Claire to name a few. She has graced the runways of Yues St Larent, Valentino and Escada. She continues to express herself as a model through fashion shows and print campaigns produced right here in Vancouver.
Andee's love for acting began at the tender age of four shortly after her first performance as " The Red Sock Puppet" in the Library Daycare puppet show. Although only her left hand was featured in this small independent production, Andee knew that acting was for her and in 2000, with creative juices flowing she was catapulted into the acting world. Having acquired a unique combination of skills this 6' 1", Super Hero is a trained Stunt Fighter, Kung Fu Martial Artist, Works with Firearms, Swords, Long Staff, and Quarter Staff, she started landing small roles right from the beginning.
In 2003 Andee booked the role of a lifetime, The QUEEN WRAITH in the hit Sci fi Series Stargate Atlantis. Appearing in several episodes she has continued to wreak havoc in the Pegasus Galaxy for the last 4 seasons. The Production loves her professionalism, charisma and talent. She continues to shine in Hollywood North.
Dividing her time between her passion for teaching, modeling, writing and acting this young woman will continue to inspire, enlighten and entertain us for many years to come.

Canada Unity Fan Fund
The Canada Unity Fan Fund (CUFF) is a fan fund that brings fans from east and west as defined by the Manitoba/Ontario border to the Canvention, Canada's national science fiction and fantasy conference.
The Canvention alternates between the east and west. When in the west, we bring a fan from the east and vice versa. This years Canvention 30 is Keycon 27. We are looking for fans from the east to come party with us! It is going to be a special year, as it's the 30th anniversary of Canvention.
This year we are hoping to have the fan chosen, if available, stay for a bit longer than just the conference in order to meet with more fans.
In order to be nominated for the CUFF this year, you must live in the east. An application must be submitted by January 31 2010 to the form below. You must include a minimum of three references from people in the east and in the west. It should contain a letter describing who you are, why this would be beneficial for you and you community and what you would bring to fandom in Winnipeg.
Voting will be open on February 5 2010 and close February 25 2010. This will allow the winning candidate time to work with programming and schedule their visit.
Any questions please forward them to me using the form below.
Thank You
