Susan is always up for a challenge. Whether she’s volunteering at the Habitat ReStore, training for Special Olympics, or spending time with her twin sister Paula and her dog Milo, she does it all with a big heart and lots of energy!

At the end of May, over 100 volunteers traded laptops and boardrooms for tool belts and hard hats at Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta’s Industry Build 2025. Among them were 30 team members from Ovintiv, returning for their third consecutive year as Presenting Sponsor. 

Today, Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta celebrated the completion of a full city block of affordable housing. This $9.8 million development of row townhomes in the community of Livingston gives 24 hardworking Alberta families, including more than 60 children, the opportunity to build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership. Twelve families have already moved in and all remaining families are anticipated to move in this fall.

Since 2008, Sue has been a steady, skilled, and compassionate presence on Habitat for Humanity build sites—here in Southern Alberta and around the world. With more than 2000 hours of service under her toolbelt, Sue is an example of what long-term volunteer impact looks like.
