Who We Are and What We Do
The Foundation was established by John and Lisa Gilchrist in 2020 as way to give back to the community. Our family has been active in sports as athletes, coaches, and volunteers; we have felt the power that comes from being physically and mentally strong. We know the importance of an active lifestyle and spending time in nature. We are avid readers and learners who know that literacy opens doors and creates opportunities.
Through our extensive volunteer work, we have seen the positive impacts that happen when families connect with one another in a community which values physical and mental well-being.
We live in rural Parkland County, west of Stony Plain, Alberta with family in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta and Kamloops, British Columbia. Our support is primarily focussed on those areas and areas where we travel or work.
