Kimberley miskulinTreasurer
As a homegrown girl born and raised in Crowsnest Pass, I have cherished outdoor adventures from a young age. The intoxicating scent of mountain air and the vibrant colors of wildflowers have always inspired my love for nature. I enjoy a variety of recreational activities that allow me to explore the beautiful landscapes around me. I look forward to learning how I can be a better ambassador for Mother Earth, focusing on protecting animals and ecosystems for future generations. Additionally, I find joy in gardening and discovering the natural healing remedies of plants, flowers, and indigenous traditions, which deepen my connection to the earth and its incredible gifts.

Christine RobertsonBoard Member
Christine Robertson is a long time South West resident of Alberta since 2000. She raised her children to respect wildlife, to slow down and view the outdoors with awe and admiration, and to tread lightly to lessen any damage left behind. She fundamentally believes we should all act as environmental stewards, accountable not just for our own immediate gains, but for the health and well being of all and the generations that will follow. She is a student in Horticulture, combining her interest in gardening and biodiversity, creating pollinator gardens, and assisting in local wild fish counts with Trout Unlimited, to contribute to a more ecologically sustainable future. She sees her seat on the Board as a prized opportunity to learn while giving back to Nature, in return for all of the natural living beauty and peaceful inspiration it has provided her throughout her lifetime!
