Dawn Booth has been a proud board member for Volunteer Wood Buffalo since 2009. She understands the importance of volunteering and that having a wonderful place to live is helping to contribute to it. She is also the vice president for the Fort McMurray Environment Committee, which encourages the community to take part in annual Environment Week activities.
Her ongoing interest in people motivated her to become a journalist, which she studied later at Humber College in Toronto, Ontario. It wasn't until she moved to Fort McMurray, Alberta in 2007, that she took on her first full-time job working at the local paper as special sections editor.
In 2011, she left the paper to co-launch a new publication called SNAP Wood Buffalo, which promotes positive community activity throughout the region.
Moving to Fort McMurray changed her life. From the start of a promising career to a family of her own, Dawn is proud to call Wood Buffalo her home.
