We are thrilled to announce that Elizabeth (Betty) Lepps has been hired as the Executive Director of Collingwood Neighbourhood House, effective July 2, 2024.


Betty brings extensive experience in community development and non-profit management. Her personal and professional journey includes integrating diverse systems to meet individual and family needs, enhancing community wellness, and addressing critical social challenges that hinder the thriving of people and communities.


Betty’s contributions to various committees focused on systemic change for marginalized populations have been highly praised at municipal, ministerial, community, and national levels. She has collaborated with numerous Indigenous and immigrant communities across Canada and the USA, delivering family and community-based training in partnership with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and key community members to preserve traditions and protect families.


With a proven track record of adaptive, collaborative, and courageous leadership, Betty consistently fosters growth within organizations and encourages staff development. Her dedication to building strong, inclusive communities aligns perfectly with our mission and values. We are confident that Betty will be a tremendous asset to CNH, guiding us towards continued growth and success.


Please join us in welcoming Betty to the CNH family. We look forward to the exciting journey ahead under her leadership.
