Some sad news to share with our teams across the organization today: Martha Marr, a long-time employee and leader in the East District, passed away in Ottawa on April 30th after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.
Martha was instrumental in building services for people who lived in the Ottawa and Kingston communities, and had a huge impact on the growth of our organization after the closure of institutions. Martha held various leadership roles in the East for many years. She hired me into my first leadership role as a SIL supervisor in the early 90s.
For those who knew Martha and wish to share your condolence with her family, there is a comments section below her obituary. I am planning to attend the visitation next week on behalf of our Karis community.
Janet Noel-Annable, Chief Executive Officer
