OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Cindy Craig Roseborough,

Board President

I have a diverse nursing history including many years in advanced/critical care,

outpost nursing up the cost of James Bay, visiting nursing, and most recently

I have found an extreme passion caring for the most vulnerable populations

working in long-term care management. I focused on behavioural support for

residents with cognitive impairment, promoting inclusion, choice and quality of

life. I look forward to continuing to serve and promote inclusion and

person centered living for all.

 

Clair Shepherdson

Clair was born, raised and educated in New Liskeard, Ontario. His career began

in 1952 as an articling student in a local Chartered Accountants office. For the

next 46 years he developed the accounting and managerial skills to move on to

senior management and executive financial fields. He ended his career as the

Superintendent of Business for the Temiskaming Board of Education where he

was responsible for all aspects of the board except, of course, for the classroom.

 

Clair was raised on a large family farm but also into a very entrepreneurial family where he experienced work in the sawmills, casket factory, basket factory as well as all of the jobs that needed to be done around the farm. As he grew older he became involved in many other volunteer organizations and ended up being president or an officer in most of them. These included his church, genealogy groups, the Little Claybelt Homesteaders Museum, the Rockwalk Park in Haileybury and the Tai Chi group.

 

In order to keep a reasonably well balanced life, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, walking, camping, directing and helping at youth camps, playing the violin in small groups and at church, reading and all of nature around him. In spite of these many activities, he always had time for family and they shared in many activities together.

His wife, Joan, and he celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary in July past. We have 12 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren which are spread all over Canada, which makes it difficult to visit them very often. Joan is now in a nursing home where she is being well cared for. Clair remains in their family home where his wood working shop, library and office are located.
