This stream is led by Kimberley Nemrava. Kimberley began her emergency response work as a first aider, lifeguard and in marine search and rescue. She worked with the Canadian Red Cross for more than three decades, recently retiring as Vice President responsible for British Columbia and the Yukon, where she supported communities during large-scale emergencies like the Asian tsunami and the recent forest fires in British Columbia and Alberta. She’ll be working with Innoweave to offer informative webinars and grow our mentorship group.
Mentors are located across Canada and can be accessed directly. No application needed.

This stream offers online mentoring to connect leaders with executives who have experience in disasters and other relevant fields. These mentors are drawn from existing networks and retired leaders.
A vital role of leadership is to see the bigger picture and have an understanding of what may come next. This needs mental space and time, both of which are in short supply at times like this.
This stream provides confidential mentors to listen carefully, share relevant experience and support leadership in their decision-making.
Mentors are located across Canada and can be accessed directly. No application needed.
