Tim Hortons Volunteers of the Week

The NW Peace FASD Network is very grateful for the wonderful board members we have. We would like to recognize Kathy Lambert for Tim Hortons Volunteer of the Week. Kathy has been the executive director for Wapiti Community Support Association since 2018. Kathy joined the NW Peace FASD Network board as a director in 2021 as she was wanting to be involved in the great work the network is doing in the north. She has worked in multiple positions in the Human Service field in Northern Alberta. I am passionate about supporting people in getting connected to the resources they choose and to be successful in their goals. I believe in supporting individuals with FASD and their families to recognize themselves as supported valued members of our community.

The NW Peace FASD Network is very grateful for the wonderful board members we have. We would like to recognize Sterling Andrews for Tim Hortons Volunteer of the Week. Sterling has been a member of the Northwest FASD Society board of directors since the summer of 2019. He is the Director of Programs for Care Human Services Ltd. which supports individuals in diverse and complex support needs in the Peace Region. In 2012, he and his partner relocated from the east coast to the beautiful Peace Country and has called the Peace River area home for the past decade. They are proud members of the LGBTQ2+ community and welcomed their first child into their life through adoption in early 2019. Sterling enjoys challenging experiences, spending time with family, and camping. He is currently working towards completing a Masters Degree in Business Administration. Sterling is passionate about seeing that services are offered to Alberta’s most vulnerable throughout the province including rural communities in the north. The work that the Northwest FASD Society’s board, staff, and contracted service providers provides in the community makes him proud to be a part of a team having such a meaningful impact.
