- Haley Lefebvre: Having spent most of my life growing up on the West side of Winnipeg and in the Interlake, in 2016, my husband and I decided to relocate our family to Ste. Anne to be closer to our family cottage. This simple, convenient decision unexpectedly opened up a multitude of opportunities I had never imagined. I became the Executive Director at Children of the Universe and quickly fell in love with this community, its services, and the wonderful people I met through these connections. Since then, I have enjoyed engaging with various sectors in the community to support the growth of child care services in the town and networking to bolster various community events and organizations. I look forward to continuing to cultivate these personal and professional relationships, with the goal of fostering positive growth for the future.

I also work full time as a firefighter for Canadian Nuclear Laboratories. I became more involved with the town in 2018 by being elected to town council. I am currently serving in my second term. I enjoy sports, travelling, and being with my family and friends. I look forward to working with the CDC, continuing the growth Ste. Anne has experienced.
- Michelle Christian: Raised in Winnipeg, Michelle relocated to the Southeast in 2013 to partake in opening Boston Pizza's newest location in Steinbach. She quickly realized how simple and safe it felt to live in a smaller community and ultimately decided to remain in the Southeast. Since 2013, Michelle has relocated from Steinbach to Ste Anne and eventually to her family's current home in Richer. She is happy to have remained in the RM of Ste Anne and even more thankful to operate her current business within the town of Ste Anne.

Through the CDC, she hopes to contribute to the maintenance and broadening of our community.
