Bio

As the founder and CEO of Unique Get Together Society (UGTS) and a woman of Cree descent, I bring 20 years’ experience working in social services. With a track record of getting things done, I’ve spent time working in group homes, women’s shelters, detox centers, foster homes and recently, I have had success working with children who live with autism.

Passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, I left the Ministry of Children and Family Development to start UGTS so I could offer my knowledge and experience to those who need the support.

“As a mother of six, I am no stranger to the demands of raising a family (at the best of times) and I know first-hand how difficult that can be without any support.”

My goal is to offer our services and support to any child regardless of their ability and personal care.

We provide a wide range of programs year round designed to strengthen each individual child and enhance their overall physical, mental, social emotional development
