We're sad to say that today is Dawn Currie's last day as our Executive Director, a position she has held since RPAN's inception in 2012. Over the last 12 years, she has done so much to grow RPAN and the sector in Nunavut. Some of her many accomplishments have included: creating youth leader initiatives for both summer and winter job training and program delivery, creating the annual recreation and sport leader conference and awards programs, being part of the management team that developed the first ever tri-territorial recreation leader certificate program, building partnerships, and representing Nunavut at various national "tables", ensuring youth have opportunities to grow and learn through our sector. Since the creation of these youth initiatives, more than 1,000 youth leaders have participated in training and certification, and more than 20,000 children have participated in quality programs. In 2022, the Nunavut Association of Municipalities recognized Dawn by presenting her with the 2022 NAM Community Builder Award. She will be truly missed! Thankfully, she will still help with some initiatives over the next few months.

Aaron Robinson will be replacing Dawn as our new Executive Director. We know he will do a great job and take RPAN to new heights!

Join us in saying thank you to Dawn for all she helped RPAN accomplish!
