We cannot do this without you! So please join us on August 12 and learn how you can protect your home.  Refreshments will be provided!

INTRODUCING: CARMEN LINDSAY
Carmen Lindsay
Predator Ridge welcomes Carmen Lindsay to the team as Lifestyle & Recreation Director.

YES! This is a brand new position at Predator Ridge, one we are all really excited about! As our community and amenity offerings continue to develop, it is imperative that we let the world know we are much more than a golf resort.

In that regard, Carmen will work closely with department leaders and local stakeholder groups to navigate the evolution of recreation at Predator Ridge.
  Her role will focus on the development of strategies and program direction in line with the organization’s strategic vision, as opposed to coordinating current offerings and programs.

Carmen comes to us from the City of Whitehorse where she was responsible for aligning programming at the Canada Games Centre with the City’s strategic plan initiatives – and for leading the City’s Special Projects. Carmen’s experience in recreational programming and public relations, her Bachelor’s Degree in Human Kinetics and International Master’s Degree in Sport Management, and her love of fitness and the outdoors, convinced us of her ability to add another layer of success as we grow the lifestyle options at Predator Ridge.

If you see Carmen, please take the time to introduce yourself and welcome her.
