Meet Our Team
Lynne is a wife of a teacher and mother of four sons. She has volunteered extensively within her community and is a strong proponent of the saying “It takes a village to raise a child”. She acknowledges the numerous valuable resources and supports she has in raising her children and is working toward building communities across Cape Breton that provide those resources for all who require them.
Erin returned home to Glace Bay in 2008 from Alberta and gained experience working in a communications role with the Cape Breton Partnership, followed by a district coordinator position with the Canadian Cancer Society, Nova Scotia Division.
Erin co-chaired the NextGen Unama’ki board for seven years, before stepping down. She is currently a member of the CB LIP (Local Immigration Partnership) Council. Erin enjoys spending her spare time with her husband, Craig, golden retriever, Harry and family and friends, especially her nieces and nephews. Erin works at United Way Cape Breton because she believes strongly in fostering a positive outlook across communities in Cape Breton.
