Meet The Team
Christine Oldfield, Executive Director
Christine knows that sometimes volunteering can feel like the broccoli of the dinner plate – boring, but good for you! Since 2004, Christine has held various roles at the People and Information Network (PIN) and, currently, as Executive Director, she is excited to highlight the joys of volunteering. From student activism to her volunteer work as a Board Member of the Workside Early Childhood Education Centre, Christine has had a wealth of experience in local and international communities. These experiences had a lasting impact on her both professionally and personally. When she is not at work, Christine enjoys practicing yoga and hiking local trails with her husband and two children. She is also a self-proclaimed ‘foodie’!
Kim Cusimano, Communications & Program Coordinator
With more than 15 years experience working and volunteering in community benefit organizations, Kim has a passion for community development; the unique fabric each community represents, the spirit of the collective and what is the greatest potential that partnerships and collaborations hold. Volunteer engagement has been a key component of both paid and volunteer roles having a significant impact on the journey taken thus far. A Wizard of Oz aficionado and collector, Kim looks for the rainbow in every situation and lives by the motto ‘There’s No Place Like Home’ where she has two daughters who make her laugh every day.
