    WXN Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada | Head of Frontlines| Founder of BrAIDS for AIDS| Grant Writing Coach | Consultant | Professor | Speaker and Facilitator

    July 2016 I made a life altering decision to walk away from a job of security to a job of unknown . Risky indeed! But I felt something so deep. A pull so strong. Maybe it was the smiles of the faces of the youth that I saw as I drove to Frontlines for my interview. Fast forward to 8 years later, the organization has grown from an operating budget of 230K to 5 million. We have grown from 3 staff to 30. We have moved from serving 100 youth to 1500 youth. We have helped opened partnering sites across the GTA and we now serving youth across Canada. In marking this new era of growth, we are happy to unveil a new logo of Frontlines that captures the essence of who we are. 1. We serve youth from 6-29 . The 4 colors represent our 3 age groups and the people that surround them to support them 2. Frontlines is outreaching and expanding out as we enter into another growth phase of our organization particularly in solidifying a long term Centre of Excellence for youth . Feel free to follow Weston Frontlines Centre - Frontlines for more updates including the launch of our new catering website
