Lea WiensChair
I am inspired by people who really listen! A hero of mine is Michelle Obama. A little quirk about me is that I tried to get a refund when I found out I could not take the stairs to the top of the CN Tower! Contact: lea.wiens@sport4lifecochrane.com |

Ashley FoxVice-Chair
I am inspired by connection - with others, nature, with my body and how it moves, and feeling connected with the community. A hero of mine is my mom. She is loving, community minded and always willing to help someone in need. She has an infectious energy and is a true example of how your everyday actions and choices can make the world a better place. A little quirk about me is that I feel naked without earrings!

Dawn TurnerTreasurer
I am inspired by people supporting community and connection. My hero is my mentor, friend, and co-worker. She instilled in me the value of building relationships, respect for your team, and adventure (stepping outside the box)! A quirk about me is I’m a numbers nerd.

Leah YardleyEarly Childhood Initiatives
I am inspired by: People whose lives reflect their values. My hero is: My mom. For so many reasons. A quirk about me is: I love weather and tracking weather systems; especially a good thunderstorm. Leah has worked in the field of health promotion for 16 years. With a background in Kinesiology, her work has taken her to educate, encourage and empower people to improve their health and well-being through physical activity. Leah believes in the holistic approach that physical literacy brings to support the development of skills and a love of movement for life. Leah enjoys being active with her family in and around the Cochrane area, as well as travelling and exploring new places. |

Laura McDonaldSecretary and Operations
Laura is a proud mom of two phenomenal children who comes from a non-profit background, having spent many years in arts administration. Laura was a founder and former President of the Friends of Fireside School Society, and is one of many proud volunteers who built the inclusive playground in Fireside. Laura pursued a volunteer position with Sport4Life Cochrane because she LOVES this town, and believes we can develop a truly inclusive and accessible community. I am inspired by Cochrane's strong volunteer community. Cochrane has such engaged and passionate community members, dedicating their time and truly walking the walk, making change and progress happen. Also, F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. He's amazing. My hero is my family. Our family's world is shaped by disability, and the complexities of that, but I couldn't be prouder of the strength and bond we've built. It's never simple, and it is often difficult, but I'm so grateful to share this wild life with my husband and our daughters. A quirk about me is my side hustle; I'm a cartoon actor! Your children may be listening to me right now... |
