At BVP, we always talk about the importance of focusing on life, living well and doing what is important to you. While we discuss this in the context of a life-changing diagnosis, it remains true for us all at any stage of life. In that spirit, I am sharing the news that, after four incredible years serving as CEO of Bow Valley Palliative, and a long and rewarding career, I will be retiring later this fall.
It’s the right time. It’s a very exciting season for Bow Valley Palliative, and it’s an honour to support a new leader to take the organization forward through continued transformation.
Over the past four years, we have made excellent progress by building a strong foundation, cultivating relationships and nurturing a talented, committed team. We are making great strides on the Pestell Centre for Compassionate Care, and we anticipate breaking ground later this fall.
My last day as CEO will be Thursday, September 24, 2026. While I will enjoy the rewards of retirement, I will continue to be part of the community and support the organization.
In the meantime, there’s more work to be done! I look forward to seeing many of you at Golf for Hospice on August 13th and in the community over the coming months.
