Anne-Marie Dorland is currently the President of the CKE Community Association, and has been on the Board since 2019. Together with her husband Dan and her two girls Charlotte and Alice, AnneMarie moved to Kelvin Grove in 2012. When she’s not teaching about creative problem solving at the MRU Bissett School of Business, you can usually find her on the ski hill, curled up with a book or hanging out with her little dancers at the studio.

Dawn Messer has been on the Board in various roles since 2012.
Kelvin Grove is where Dawn grew up and in 2009 she found herself back in the hood, happy to be raising her family here. She has 3 boys and a dog and you may also know her husband Tony from his rink rat and various volunteer jobs in the around CKE. Dawn loves the neighbourhood and thinks of it as a hidden gem in the city. When she isn’t at the hockey rink or baseball field she likes to garden, travel and enjoy happy hours with friends and neighbours.

Marnie Sullivan has held a position on the board since May 2017. She and her family have resided in Kelvin Grove for the past 10 years. She’s been involved in many community programs over the years including Heritage Soccer before joining the board. Marnie loves to spend time in her garden and hang out with family and friends. Fun facts about Marnie: She is a level 1 Sommelier (aiming to become fully certified) and I has earned her green belt in Muay Thai Kickboxing.

Zonita Haggis. Born and raised in Labrador. Was tired of waiting for her Hogwarts letter so she attended university in Newfoundland and obtained an engineering degree. Moved across the country to Calgary where she met and married her forever love, Barry, who is a CKE OG. Spends all of her free time hanging with her husband, rescue dog, and baby boy. Can be found embracing the long winters by warming up with spicy foods but her guilty pleasure is grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. Favourite pastime is organizing anything and everything! Loves CKE because it reminds her of home and is her “small town” in a big city.

I’m a proud father of three beautiful children, Stephen(21),Ryan(19)and Emma(17).
My lovely wife Barb, is a Calgary native and I am a born and raised Montréaler. I arrived in Calgary in 1989, to attend Mount Royal College. I studied Aviation at MRC, then secured flying jobs in and around Calgary. I have work as a Airline Transport Pilot, for WestJet, for the last 20 years.

We have lived in Kelvin Grove since 2004. We love our neighbourhood and all of the amazing people that live in it! Our kids have all attended Chinook Park, Woodman Junior High, as well as Henry Wisewood schools.

I have powerful feelings about helping people and volunteering will always be part of my life. We all need to help each other, for this life to have meaning and beauty.

I also have a passion for transportation by bicycle. I hesitate to label myself a cyclist, but every chance I get, I ride a bicycle!
My motto or favourite saying is Good morning!….at all times of the day.
