She was on national radio and television in many instances not only to discuss her team's research[6] but also to act as a spokesperson for a coalition of concerned community groups opposed to the proposed KGHM Ajax mine, a copper-gold open-pit mine project proposed to be located within 1 km of the Kamloops city boundary.[7]
Music
Ross Friedman was also a keyboardist, singer, and songwriter who played in a Kamloops Latin ensemble called Caliente,[8] in rock bands and as a solo act.[9] Her music had been favorably reviewed in Winnipeg.[10][11][12]

Ross Friedman died on 24 December 2018 at the age of 47 from an aortic dissection.[13]
