Happy Easter 2023!

This year I had the pleasure of hosting my first community Easter egg hunt and BBQ. I couldn’t have done it without all the help and support from two very important people.
 

Michelle Carson, who’s been hosting this annual event for as long as I’ve been a part of this community, guided me the whole way through. Her commitment to community and energetic go to attitude made her the perfect mentor and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from the best!
 

Jaimie Dewar, NWCA communications director, fellow mom, and long time friend of mine, rounded off the team. Her organization and attention to detail helped ensure a smooth event for all to enjoy. Always working tirelessly behind the scene, it was nice to work side by side with her hosting both the St Patrick’s Day dance fundraiser and the Easter Egg Hunt and BBQ.
 

The three of us couldn’t have done it without the support of our fabulous community and all the day of volunteers and event sponsors. Thank you to the NWCA team! Josh Galloway, Scott Graham, Catherine Middleton, and Fawn Myndzak all stepped up to help wherever needed. Brad Riley from N.W.S. Landscapes, The North Westside Fire Rescue Firefighters, Lara Smith, Callie Simpson, Wayne Carson, Donna Green, Brooke Rohatyn, Aleeya Williamson, Ellen Taylor, Jessica Cousens, Michelle and Maurice Greenwood from M Pro Properties, and the NWCA YA Youth Group all volunteered happily to help make this day happen for the North westside community families, and I can’t thank them enough.
 

Lastly, thank you to our sponsors! Huge shout out to Heather from Cobs Bread in Vernon, Ryan Hargreaves from the LaCasa Kitchen, Candace Campbell from Killiney Concierge, Marge the Knitter, the NWFR Firefighters Society, and the RDCO.
