Gena is SIRCH’s founding Executive Director, and for 36 years she has helped shape the heart, direction, and values of the organization. Her deep knowledge of the community (she grew up here) and commitment to reducing vulnerability and levelling the playing field are part of what makes SIRCH trusted and respected.

As SIRCH’s founding Executive Director, Gena carries both the history and the hope — honouring where we’ve been while thoughtfully shaping what comes next.

It might surprise you to know that Gena is a big-picture thinker. She sees possibilities, patterns, and connections — often before there’s a clear path or funding in place.

Over the years, she’s weathered both rewarding and difficult seasons with care, integrity, and a commitment to taking the high road. That steady approach continues to shape SIRCH’s culture, relationships, and impact.

She also knows it takes a team, and often a community. "I’m profoundly grateful for the incredible staff, volunteers, and community partners who have walked this journey by my side -- it's the only way it could be successful.”
