Who We Are
Since 2014 alone, over $3.8 million has been raised by our community, allowing significant enhancements and equipment purchases for our facility . We are devoted to raising funds for priority initiatives such as facility revitalization, staff learning and development, mental health awareness and education and the purchase of state of the art equipment. This is done through a partnership with our Health Centre, our generous community and Covenant Health . The funds raised not only maintain the current quality of care at the Bonnyville Health Centre, but also strengthen and expand the range of specialized health services available to our community .

Dawn Weber
For over 15 years, Dawn has been a leader in the local nonprofit sector. Her passion is fundraising and working toward making our community a great place to live, for all stages of life.
Her enthusiasm and eagerness to embark on making a difference for local healthcare can be traced back to the unexpected medical care her son required in his early years. With the hope of ensuring excellent hospital and healthcare experiences for others, Dawn is always excited to take on new initiatives that will help accomplish the goals of the Bonnyville Health Foundation.
When she isn’t busy with community advocacy, Dawn loves trying out new recipes in the kitchen, catching the latest live music or theatre event, or is on the sidelines of a soccer field cheering on her boys.

In her spare time, Jenn loves thrifting, crafting, and shocking people with the fact that she has never seen a Star Wars movie!

Kirsten Lynch
After experiencing premature labour with her son in Bonnyville and having a wonderful experience from our local healthcare staff, Kirsten has been motivated to have a give-back approach in making a difference.
As an entrepreneur, and a part of the Professional Photographers of Canada, Kirsten’s eye for detail with her local photography business is a skill our Foundation is very thankful to have ‘on Board’.
When Kirsten is busy with her two little ones, she is likely finding her zen (and probably still photographing nature) in a campground.
