Volunteers are vital to the success of our organization, and we are grateful for the hundreds of hours our volunteers dedicate to the work of the Canadian Pride Historical Society. This volunteer spotlight is for Natasha Comand, our amazing Senior Education Coordinator. Read more about Natasha's volunteer experience below.

What are 3 words to describe the CPHS?

Three words to describe the CPHS are "impactful", "mission-driven", and "empowering".

What do you like the most about the CPHS?

What I like most about the CPHS is how dedicated and supportive all the members are, and how willing everyone is to help each other. I also really like the element of collaboration seen and shared amongst the team, no matter which role you hold.

What drew you to the CPHS originally? How has the CPHS changed since you've joined?

I was originally drawn to the CPHS because I was completing a Master of Education in Curriculum & Pedagogy and really just wanted some exposure to a role that would allow me the opportunity to design/develop curriculum and lesson plans. At this time, the CPHS was still in their beginning stages and I was really excited at the opportunity to help the organization start up and begin growing. The CPHS has changed since I've joined as it's definitely grown quite a bit in many ways. There is now a much larger group of volunteers and many educational resources have been designed throughout several provinces, since I've joined.
