Biographical history

Residing in the Rural Municipality of Ritchot, located immediately south of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Susan Goyer was a volunteer, grassroots organizer and victim's advocate during the 1997 Red River flood, often referred to as the "Flood of the Century"€. Active as a volunteer during the flood, Goyer continued to contribute to flood relief after the waters had receded, serving as the executive coordinator of the North Ritchot Restoration Committee. In her role as executive coordinator, Goyer organized fundraising and relief efforts, while also acting as an intermediary between the people of her municipality and various governmental and non-governmental agencies. She also worked as a re-entry coordinator, assisting families with moving back to their flood damaged properties and seeking financial compensation. Goyer and the N.R.C.C. were instrumental in obtaining an independent review of Manitoba'€™s flood preparedness and the government'€™s response to the 1997 flood. As well, they were succeessful in organizing and holding a series of community conversations for residents in the R.M. of Ritchot to voice their concerns about flood preparedness, the government's handling of the flood, and to have a chance to discuss and plan the municipality's future development.
