About Karen Demers, Whitby, Ontario. "I was born and raised in Niagara Falls, ON and moved to the Durham Region to attend UOIT for Criminology. Some of the best times of my life were spent growing up with my family – we travelled together, invented games to play and fed off of each other’s dreams and ambitions. While I found the teenage years hard and felt for most of the time like I was on a roller coaster, my family was always there to encourage me, love me and remind me to stay steady and true to myself. Now that I have completed my degree, I have evolved yet again. I have a desire to help people discover their potential and worth in this world. I am finishing up a diploma to become a professional counsellor and hope to one day work one-on-one with youth."

Something unique about Karen: "I use the word “Delicious” to describe more than just food. To me, delicious is anything that makes you feel happy, warm and excited on the inside!"

Karen's passion: Learning something new every day, trying something new as often as I can, curling, soccer, reading, and laughing with friends and family.

Karen's message: " Act locally, think globally”. I believe the changes you make in yourself, your family, and your community are felt around the world. It’s like the ripple effect – creating a ripple here can make a splash on the banks of another country. You just never know."
