Meet Amber Stewart
Amber Stewart has been the Executive Director of the Legion Foundation BC/Yukon Command since 2022. She has over a decade of experience working with charities and non-profits on all sides of the table - as a board member, a staff member and as a consultant. Amber insists that she is not a fundraiser but numerous flower fundraisers, grant applications, thank you cards and more recently, a legacy program, suggest otherwise. After spending 20+ years in Calgary, Amber now lives in Langley, BC. In her spare time, Amber sings in an acapella chorus and has two seasons each year – ski season and kayak season (with as little gap between each as possible). She has been a member of CAGP since 2022.
