1 week ago | haltonhillstoday.ca | Herb Garbutt

Asked what her biggest accomplishment was as the North Halton Twisters president, Lindsay Oliver laughs. “Probably finding my replacement,” she says. Oliver had always been willing to do whatever was needed to help the North Halton Girls Hockey Association, from coaching, to coordinating tournaments. So when someone was needed to fill the role of president, she stepped up. Oliver held the position for six years, from 2011 to 2016. But she knew her greatest strengths were not in a boardroom.

That daily routine went on for weeks. Then one day Muscat found a note on her door thanking her for the support.

Caroline Farquhar knew it was the right thing to do, but couldn’t bring herself to it. She had read a story in the newspaper about a support group for people who had been sexually abused as children. She knew she needed help, but it was so tough to ask. “I thought I was going to throw up,” she said. “I didn’t know if I had the nerve.” Melissa Loyer’s experience was the same. She had struggled with addiction and worried what she might do to herself without help.
