A Way Home Kamloops
653 Victoria St. V2C2B3 Kamloops, BC, Canada

We want to thank Shawn Mochrie and his team from the Home Depot for continuing to be champions for youth experiencing homelessness in Kamloops! The Home Depot has supported A Way Home Kamloops for years, and even though this December presented us with tremendous challenges, Shawn and his team brought kindness and compassion to staff and youth at our office. They made this year’s Orange Door Project a success through innovative COVID safe fundraising opportunities, like gift basket raffles, to ensure that every youth will have a way home! Thank you for being heroes!!!

The Board of Directors of A Way Home Kamloops (AWHK) is pleased to announce the appointment of Sadie Hunter as the organization’s Executive Director. The Board conducted an extensive search for an Executive Director who would be able to expand the work of A Way Home Kamloops, carrying forward the vision of founder, Katherine McParland, that all youth in Kamloops have a safe place to call home and the supports to maintain wellness. We are happy to share, as of 28 January 202...1, Sadie Hunter has stepped into the role. With degrees in journalism and science, along with a diverse professional and personal background, Sadie brings valuable perspective to the Society. She has experience in both the not-for-profit and for-profit world, including operating her own communications business. The variety of skills and talents Sadie brings to the Society include communication, fundraising, risk management and values-based leadership. A youth-driven focus is foundational to A Way Home Kamloops and Sadie is whole-heartedly committed to maintaining and enhancing this approach. She was a supporter of the work of A Way Home Kamloops in its early days, participating in the Camp Out and attending AWHK events. Sadie’s immediate focus will be meeting with the staff, familiarizing herself with operations and programs, and continuing the important work of the organization.
