Sam van Born

Sam van Born was born and raised in North Vancouver, BC. where she resides with her 10-year-old daughter. Her real name is Synamon, pronounced Cinnamon, but she was nicknamed Sam in grade five and still goes by it to this day. She graduated from high school not knowing exactly what she wanted to do in life, until she had a conversation with her friend's dad who was a captain in the fire service. Inspired to find out more about this amazing career, she soon moved out to Lions Bay to join the volunteer fire department. A year later she got into a firefighting school in Alberta, and eleven weeks after that she was certified.  She was then hired by the North Vancouver City Fire Department, and now, nineteen years later, she has worked her way through the ranks to become a full-time captain. 

Sam is also actively promoting health and wellness through her home-based business with Evolv Health. She promotes whole food plant-based nutritional products that focus on helping people heal their gut, lower inflammation, and support their hormones, along with an award winning Hemp/CBD Oil.  Aloe Vera is the core ingredient in all of the products, and it serves to help the body heal itself. When the immune system is supported, the body is capable of doing amazing things.
