Greba began her work at The City as a lifeguard at the G.H. Dawe, and is now Recreation Facilities Supervisor. Her involvement with the Dawe expansion project showcased her ability to model strong leadership while strategically management many small details.

Finally, Martin is the Geographic Information System (GIS) Supervisor, with a skill set sought after by many departments. She worked tirelessly to migrate The City’s mapping information into a new GIS system in 2022 and 2023.

She is also a strong ambassador to the community for diversity and inclusion, as evidenced by her support of Syrian refugees, The City notes.

The Bob Stollings Memorial Award was established in 1985 and is presented every year to honour Robert (Bob) E. Stollings, a loyal and dedicated City employee from 1960-1984.
