Citizen, soldier, servant.
In the latest episode of The Team Ten Eight Podcast, I sit down with City of Parksville Councillor and Royal Canadian Air Force Captain Amit Gaur to discuss his unique journey balancing municipal leadership, military service, and community care.
From serving seniors as a physiotherapy assistant to maintaining his council duties while deployed to Canadian Forces Station Alert (the northernmost inhabited place on Earth), Amit shares what service truly means to him.
We explore how his cultural upbringing, military experience, and commitment to community have shaped his approach to leadership. Amit also reflects on the lessons he’s learned from seniors in his care, the importance of resilience and family, and the realities of serving Canada in the Arctic while staying connected to his hometown responsibilities.
This conversation is a grounded and thoughtful look at dedication, public service, and the many ways people choose to serve, both locally and nationally.
