Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, Incredible Personal Life Story

Nav was a bereaved mom. Her son Jayden was stillborn at full term in 2015. For years she was unable to share her grief with the world, due to the stigma and silence around infant loss. During that time she struggled with digestion issues, anxiety headaches and episodes of depression. Today, she is stepping into her future confidently and freely sharing her experience and remembering her son with love and acceptance. She hopes sharing her experience can help families heal from Infant and Pregnancy loss and other unspoken tragedies. In 2018, Nav and her husband were blessed with their rainbow baby Rose.

Past Presidents Series 5

Join Zoom Meeting Meeting ID: 850 2062 2401
Dan Doherty, past president and past DG, who I've often referred to as Mr. Rotary brings his very long membership (going back to the '80's if I am correct) and experience as prez and seminal DG year in 2018-19 to give us the long view. Steve Rickard, past president and past DG has been the FACE of micro-credit for Rotary around the World, having spoken at conferences both in and out of Rotary. He has been so strong in the movement that he has become more than "just met" Mohammed Unis but has become a friend of this great man who started the entire movement in the world. Tony Knight, very recent past president spearheaded the major multi year Bethany Atrium project. This was a major initiative that required a huge personal commitment and had to involve most of the Calgary Rotary clubs. This is and has become an impactful, permanent, physical and visual project that demonstrates the huge value that Rotary brings to the community and, like micro-credit, the world. AND we will welcome Tony joining us at 3:00 AM his time because he is currently in the Netherlands. Don't miss listening and reacting to these three gentlemen tomorrow at 6:30, who like so many others we have already heard from, have made a major impact both in the name of and in behalf of the Rotary Club of Calgary West. |

Kent joined the Rotary Club of Calgary Fish Creek in 2005. He has been Club Secretary, President, International Service Director, Membership Director and Rotary Foundation Chair. When not busy with Rotary he works as a market researcher and consultant in agri-business. In 2010 he stumbled into what would become his Rotary passion, in a very Rotary way. He started asking a lot of questions about ShelterBox… until the Rotarian running the Canadian arm invited Kent to join the Board of Directors. Kent served as Chair of the Canadian organization from 2015-2019 and continues to volunteer as a Director and Ambassador. |

Steacy’s career began in the Grade 1 classroom, where she became passionate about helping children develop a love of reading. Later, as a literacy consultant, Steacy became inspired by a movement to ensure every child could read by the end of third grade, setting them up for success in school and in life. It became her mission to help all children read with confidence and joy, and this was the driving vision of Calgary Reads.
What began as a volunteer reading tutor program in just two schools is now a vibrant reading movement that reaches children, families and educators in so many ways. As a reading champion possibilitarian, and placemaker, one of Steacy’s proudest achievements is The Little Red Reading House, a magical home that lets children experience the joy of family reading time and the power of book ownership. |

In Rotary, it is often said that when you give, it will surely come back in many forms and impact many more people than just the first line recipients. On Monday Sept 13, 2021, as part of this subject, we present an international program on a dynamic project in Kenya started by an individual who believes that where there is hope, there is progress. Born in the city of Kisumu, on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya, of a three generation business family, she completed university in the UK, has been a childhood educator, accomplished artist, published writer and social entrepreneur who has devoted much of her life in Nairobi, Kenya, empowering marginalized young women to create opportunities for themselves and their families. Her program has received many awards from such agencies as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, Canada’s International Alliance for Women, the Michael Jordan Foundation and more. Her project has been featured on the BBC and helped raise awareness around the globe; and she was a recipient of a world community grant from our club several years ago. She is a senior active member of the Kenyan Girl Guides, a trustee of the Kenyan Girl Guides Association and an honorary member of the World Association of Girl Guides. |

In 2002 the World Health Organization stated “this is the first generation of children to die BEFORE their parents due to preventable nutritional diseases.” As an educator for 27 years inspiring children to love science, food and being active, I felt I could do something to change this stat. I started NSTEP (Nutrition Students Teachers Exercising with Parents) a small registered charity that has grown into 3 provinces. From Jan. 2010 to June 20 2020 NSTEP has educated over 54,000 children and youth in both school and community programs. This presentation will explain WHY healthy eating and activity build better brains. Nutrition + Activity + EDUCATION=Brighter futures. She is a member of Rotary Club of Calgary Sarcee. Deb is married to Ron, has 2 children and 3 delightful energetic grandchildren. |
