Carole is a lawyer with Edmonton Catholic Schools and was recruited to the Board by a former Director. Carole is very humbled to be able to give back to a community that she feels has laid the groundwork for many of the privileges she is able to enjoy and hopes to follow in their footsteps in laying a foundation for those yet to come. Carole is so grateful to everyone at St. Andrew’s, both members of the Board and the residents, who have been so welcoming, caring and inspiring. She hopes that in this role, she can continue to serve this community in such a way so as to always provide a vibrant, safe, welcoming and treasured home to all those who have chosen to make St. Andrew’s their place of residence.
