“As we celebrate these honourees, we’re reminded of the broader work of United Way Central Alberta—building relationships and mobilizing resources to meet our community’s needs and create thriving communities,” said Chelsea O’Donoghue, United Way Central Alberta CEO.

“40 Under 40 reflects this impact, recognizing talent and empowering the continued positive change they inspire.”
