Today, we are saddened to learn of the sudden death of Jill Calder, Executive Director of New View Society. On behalf of the board and staff of United Way British Columbia, I extend our deepest sympathies to the Calder family, to Jill’s friends and to her co-workers. Many United Way staff have been inspired by Jill’s commitment to bettering our community. Over the past 16 years, she has been an active supporter of United Way, most recently participating in the Walk for Possibility. Jill passionately believed in “community health through mental health”. She built New View Society to be a warm and welcoming place where anyone could go. She will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Michael McKnight President and CEO United Way British Columbia
