Meet SOS Editor Anita Willis

Anita Willis

In my 15-year career with British Columbia Magazine, I worked with journalists, photographers, and industry insiders to uncover the best of B.C. for subscribers. Now, I get to share the best secrets of Victoria, my home town, with the savvy readers of Scrimp or Splurge.

It is my personal philosophy to scrimp on everyday items whenever possible so I can afford to splurge now and again on something special. That's what this website is all about.
