When asked why Purves applied to work at the Town of Hudson Bay, she said the town is a stable employer, it was a job that used skills learned from a business certificate program from what's now Saskatchewan Polytechnic, and Monday to Friday working hours offered her manageable hours with her young children. Purves said she was especially happy with the work-life balance – being able to attend those special moments with her family.
She said she enjoys her new role as there are no two days that are the same, one will never know what can happen.
