Alison joined our staff team in September 2021 as our Office Administrator. In addition to her duties at Messiah, she also provides administrative support to St. Peter's Anglican Church. Her roots are in the United Church of Canada, and she is a long-time member of Young United. She serves as a director for Crossways in Common, the multi-use building that Young United created with community partners, to serve the West Broadway neighbourhood.
Alison is a passionate supporter of a wide variety of arts and cultural organizations, notably her involvement with the Manitoba Craft Council as past president, and coordinating one of the La Cuisine volunteer crews at Winnipeg Folk Festival. For her, being engaged in the wider community opens up opportunities to see God at work in the world. Alison offers her gifts and creativity in many ways and places so that beauty, love, and peace might flourish. Living in the inner city, close to her heart are her neighbours, whose diversity and strength daily offer lessons of seeking justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly.
