Episode 150: Deborah Ross

Deb Ross was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her father was a former drug addict who became a Christian minister, focused on visiting prison inmates and establishing drug and alcohol recovery homes, so Deborah grew up in an environment of caring for people in crisis.

In 2019, Deb decided she wanted to work at something fun and relaxing, so she bought a café in the downtown core of Prince George, where she serves and relates to people of all sorts. Deb's Cafe & Specialty Bakery is located at t 7th & Quebec Street in the Stantec Building. In addition to coffee and a lunch menu, she and her daughter have developed proprietary recipes for delicious baking that is low carb, gluten free, and sugar free, to benefit people with dietary restrictions.

Deb has 22 years of experience in the financial community, specializing in helping people with the challenges associated with debt, through her training in family counselling, and as an Accredited Financial Counsellor – Canada (AFCC) and an Insolvency Counsellor (ICQC).

Deb and her family moved to Prince George in 2000, and they live on a farm near the city, where they raise Piedmontese cattle. Deb and her husband have raised 4 sons and 4 daughters. They have 15 grandchildren so far.
