About Beverly Carter

Beverly Carter is the President of Think Local First Victoria and the owner of Beverly Carter Notary Public, where she has been helping individuals, families, and businesses navigate important legal matters since 2013.

As a professional member of the Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia, Beverly brings a unique blend of experience shaped by careers in education, senior government leadership, entrepreneurship, and community service.

Her approachable style, practical guidance, and genuine compassion have earned her a reputation for integrity, trust, and exceptional client care.
