Burke is a Thornhill environmental activist and proud of
it. Next month, Burke will head the fifth annual Pomona
Mills Park Spring Community Planting, an event that includes
the planting of native trees and shrubs in the park to improve
air quality, naturalize the park setting and provide wildlife
habitat.
Last November, she ran for a council seat, which she says

I could've brought to council, but I'm still going to keep
pushing forward."
