Volunteering

As one of three individuals to start Ponokas very first Pride Society, I have sat on the Board for the past two years. First year as Fundraising and Events Coordinator and currently as Vice Chair. My positions with Ponoka Pride Society (PPS) have been extremely rewarding. Through event planning, including booking venues, caterers, DJs, entertainers and speakers, to organizing community events and fundraisers I have helped to provide an inclusive environment for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in the community.
