Safe Families Canada | Hamilton-Halton
Chapter Director – Natalie Vanderlaan
Natalie is a wife and mom to three children and fosters through the Hamilton Children’s Aid Society. When she first heard of Safe Families Canada, she felt a strong tug on her heart to be involved, knowing personally of birth parents who maybe would not have been separated from their children had they had some support. Moving from the Steering Committee, to Assistant Director and now Chapter Director, her hands and heart are open to how God will lead. She is passionate about this ministry and seeing families safe and strong together. She has seen the Circle of Support model in action over and over, and loves how beautiful it is when each member is using their gifts and capacities to support and strengthen a family unit.
We are always in need of more volunteers, so please connect with me today if you, too, feel that tug on your heart!
Community Engagement Coordinator – Tracy Robb
Tracy is a wife to Chris and mother of two young adult daughters. She homeschooled her children for 12 years and volunteered in various not-for-profit community groups. She has a passion for raising funds, promoting awareness, as well as, helping connect businesses to charitable organizations. Five years ago she started a company which grew exponentially under her leadership. She enjoyed this position, however, her true desire was to make a meaningful impact in the lives of vulnerable families. She felt God calling her to work in a ministry where she could use her excellent communication skills and other gifts to engage the community to partner with Safe Families.
