Fundraising does more than raise dollars, it brings teams together.

When employees come together to support a cause they care about, it creates connection, purpose, and a stronger sense of community. Studies show that workplace giving and volunteering can increase employee engagement, with many employees reporting greater pride and satisfaction when their work contributes to a meaningful impact.

Whether it’s a team challenge or a local event, giving back helps build stronger teams while making a difference beyond the workplace.

Thank you to Ovintiv for sponsoring Your Pantry at Ken Sargent House! 🥫

A stocked pantry may seem like a small detail, but it’s these thoughtful touches that help turn a house into a home. Your generosity will help provide a welcoming and comfortable space for ones visiting Grande Prairie for their medical care.

Thank you for helping create a place where families can focus on what matters most!

When a loved one is sick, the whole family is impacted.

When Dale Bond’s daughter Kamryn became critically ill as a baby, their family spent months away from home seeking specialized care in Edmonton. During that challenging time, supported accommodation provided more than just a place to stay; it offered comfort, companionship, and care for the family.

Ken Sargent House will provide that same vital support for families across northern Alberta, offering a safe and affordable home away from home while they access medical care.

Meet Brandi Erno!

We are so pleased to introduce Brandi Erno, who is joining the Ken Sargent House team as House Coordinator.

Brandi brings a wonderful combination of professional experience, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people. With a background in education, child development, community programming, and family support, she has spent much of her career creating safe, welcoming environments and supporting children and families through a variety of circumstances. She also brings experience working with volunteers, community organizations, and multidisciplinary teams.

For Brandi, the mission of Ken Sargent House is also deeply personal. She understands firsthand how meaningful a supportive “home away from home” can be for a family navigating medical circumstances, an experience that has given her a special appreciation for the comfort, stability, dignity, and relief Ken Sargent House will provide.

Outside of work, Brandi’s most important roles are close to home. She is a wife, mom, and proud grandma, and family is at the heart of who she is. That warmth, compassion, and understanding of the importance of being together during difficult times are qualities she will bring to every family who walks through our doors.

Brandi is known for her ability to connect with people, stay calm when things get busy, and approach the unexpected with patience, adaptability, and a good sense of humour.

We are incredibly excited to have Brandi help us bring Ken Sargent House to life and create the welcoming, caring home we have envisioned for patients and families from across our region.

Please join us in welcoming Brandi to the Ken Sargent House and Foundation family!
