Change in leadership at Red Deer Homeless Foundation

“I’m excited to join the Red Deer Homeless Foundation at a time when we’re still building and shaping what this organization can become,” says Forbes.

“My focus will be on listening, learning, and activating strong relationships across the community. Together, we have an opportunity to create an organization that brings people together, drives lasting solutions, and is something our community is proud of.”

Foundation chairperson Matt Cassidy also thanked Mykytyshyn for his efforts.

“On behalf of the Board, I thank Darcy for his service to the foundation and the Red Deer community,” said Cassidy.

“As we prepare for this transition, our direction remains clear: advance Project Nexus and work alongside our community partners to turn that shared vision into action.”

Mykytyshyn will remain involved throughout the transition.

It was earlier this October when rdnewsNOW spoke with Mykytyshyn at the launch event for a massive fundraiser the foundation is hosting in spring 2027, alongside Dress for Success and the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre.

He shared that, to date, the foundation’s biggest challenge has been keeping pace with its ambitious timelines.

He also said that the team at the foundation is working very hard to bring phase one of Project Nexus to completion, which is the shelter space.
