“Serving this community has been one of the greatest privileges of my career,” said Bruce. “Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work alongside extraordinary individuals, families, staff, board members and community partners who have continuously inspired me with their resilience, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to inclusion. The work we have done together will always hold a special place in my heart, and leaving is not without a great deal of emotion and gratitude.”
Bruce became the executive director in February of 2023 and held the position for over three years. She leaves the Down Syndrome Association of Peterborough to become a service delivery manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peterborough.
“I look forward to beginning this next chapter with an organization that is equally committed to strengthening community, supporting young people, and creating meaningful connections that change lives,” said Bruce.
The outgoing executive director was a Fleming College graduate and has previously worked in child care with organizations such as the YMCA and Compass Early Learning & Care, according to Bruce’s LinkedIn page.
