A huge thank you to Elaine Robertson, who is stepping away from her role as Communities Coordinator at NewBridge after four incredible years!
Elaine has been a driving force in how we connect with our local communities—building trust, nurturing meaningful relationships, and helping to open up our space in thoughtful, inclusive, and caring ways. She listened closely to our neighbours’ needs and championed community voices, leaving a lasting impact on NewBridge and everyone who worked with her.
We’re so lucky that this isn’t goodbye—you’ll still see Elaine around, and you can catch her bringing the laughs at her many comedy gigs!
She said, “Thank you so much to the NewBridge team and all the wonderful people I met in Shieldfield! I can’t put into words how special this part of my life has been thanks to you all.”
Good luck with everything, Elaine!
