President

Wanda MacArthur began her full-time career with Children's Aid in 1989, beginning as a front line Child and Youth Worker in an agency operated home. In 2002, she moved to a role within management and in 2014 became the Director of Children and Resource Services until her retirement in October 2020.

Throughout her career with Children's Aid, Wanda participated in many agency run or supported initiatives that helped support children, youth and families. Among those initiatives was Black Light Theatre, an agency supported, youth led theatre group that included children and youth involved with the agency as well as children and youth from the community. Black Light Theatre was able to perform a number of plays locally and throughout the province, in part with the financial support of the Foundation, and was highlighted in a peer reviewed Child and Youth Care journal for its therapeutic impact and value for children and youth.

Wanda brings many years of volunteer, fund-raising and Board experience to the Foundation as an Alumni representative.
