Erin Alexander
Treasurer

Hi my name is Erin and this is my first year as the PAC treasurer. I joined the PAC when I heard how much it supports the school and wanted to see how I could help.  My role is to oversee all aspects of the PAC’s finances and help the executive committee on decision making …most importantly how to best spend the hard earned fundraising profits!  I love living on the North Shore, kids’ jokes and perfectly reconciled spreadsheets!

Sonia Gadtke
Secretary + Class Rep Coordinator

Hi, I'm Sonia. I have 2 roles on the PAC including the Secretary and Class Rep coordinator. My job is to record the minutes of each PAC meeting and also to organize and help guide the class reps for each division. Canyon Heights has always been near and dear to me since I walked the halls as a student, now my kids attend our school! I have a daughter in Kindergarten and a son in Grade 2. 
Fun Fact: I embarrassingly balled my eyes out at my grade 7 graduation ceremony because I was so sad to be leaving Canyon Heights for high school. I'm pretty sure I made my Kindergarten buddy very uncomfortable!
