Annsabelle “Ann-ann” Ramas Pronych is a Filipino-Canadian professional, entrepreneur, caregiver, volunteer, and abstract artist who has called West Vancouver home.

She is running for West Vancouver Council because she believes local government should never lose sight of the people it serves. Care for People. Care for Community. reflects the values she wants to bring to Council: listening to residents, treating people with respect, making responsible decisions, and working toward practical solutions for West Vancouver.

Annsabelle believes a strong community is built by caring about the people who live here—our seniors, families, young people, local businesses, artists, and neighbours—and by being responsible with the resources entrusted to municipal government.

Her approach is simple:

Listen. Learn. Review. Act.

Born and raised in the Philippines, Annsabelle is the eldest of six siblings. Growing up in a large family taught her responsibility, cooperation, hard work, and the importance of caring for others. Her father is a preacher and  was also involved in local politics, including running for Councillor in their town when Annsabelle & her siblings were young. Being part of that experience gave Annsabelle an early understanding of public service, connecting with people, & importance of giving back to the community.

Annsabelle earned a Bachelor of Science in Communication, majoring in Broadcasting, from Philippine Christian University in Manila. She supported her education through a scholarship and worked as a student assistant in the Dean’s Office and College Library. She also studied Nursing and later completed caregiver and community health-care training in Canada.

Her professional experience includes administration, business operations, customer service, caregiving, entrepreneurship, and the creative arts. She has worked in healthcare and home-care settings, supported clients and families, and held supervisory and customer-service positions with Canadian businesses.

Since 2016, Annsabelle has worked as an Administrative Manager with GVRD Roofing Inc. in West Vancouver. Her experience has taught her the importance of organization, accountability, communication, problem-solving, and following through.

She is also an entrepreneur and passionate abstract artist. Through her art, she explores what she calls “Life Expressions”—the emotions, experiences, struggles, dreams, and hopes that make each person unique.

Her artistic work has been exhibited throughout Metro Vancouver and British Columbia. She has participated in art festivals, exhibitions, live painting events, and community arts initiatives. Her artistic work was featured in Jetset Magazine in 2016. In 2026, she was selected as a quarter-finalist in The People’s Artist competition, presented by Johnny Depp.

For Annsabelle, art is about expression, connection, and finding meaning. She believes creativity gives people an opportunity to express themselves, connect with others, and see the world from different perspectives.

Caring for people has also been an important part of Annsabelle’s life. Her experience in caregiving and her volunteer work with seniors have strengthened her belief that people deserve dignity, respect, compassion, and meaningful connection at every stage of life.

Annsabelle brings a diverse life experience to her candidacy—from growing up in the Philippines and building a life in Canada, to working in healthcare, business, administration, customer service, and the arts. These experiences have taught her to work with different people, listen to their concerns, solve problems, and keep moving forward when challenges arise.

As a first-time candidate, Annsabelle does not claim to have all the answers. She believes a good councillor should be willing to listen, ask questions, study the facts, hear different perspectives, and continue learning.

She wants to bring a fresh voice and a fresh perspective to West Vancouver Council while respecting the community, its history, its character, and the people who call it home.

Her values are rooted in integrity, accountability, respect, service, compassion, collaboration, and lifelong learning.

Annsabelle believes caring for West Vancouver means caring about the people who live here and taking responsibility for the future we are building together.
