“I am honored to begin this next chapter at Inn from the Cold,” says Heather Morley. “I believe the Inn is one of the sector’s leaders in ending homelessness through their innovative and evidence based care for families and the way they engage the public in their work. I am very excited to join this incredible organization and lead the dedicated staff who make it great.”

In addition to Heather’s impressive sector experience she has a Master of Arts majoring in Counselling with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco, a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Manitoba, as well as a Certificate in Strategic Leadership from The Banff Center Leadership Development and a Certificate in General Social Work from the University of Waterloo.
