The Golden & District Community Foundation (GDCF) is pleased to welcome a new member to our team as the new Community Impact and Development Coordinator, Katrina Froese!
Originally from Ontario, Katrina relocated to Field in 2017 and has since become an active and dedicated member of the local community. Her work and volunteerism reflect a strong commitment to building connections, supporting local initiatives, and contributing to the long-term well-being of the region.
Katrina currently serves as President of the Field Recreation Advisory Association (FRAA), a role she has held since 2024. Through this leadership position, she has been actively involved in supporting recreation, fostering community engagement, and helping to create opportunities that enhance the quality of life for residents.
Her approach to community work is grounded in a belief that small communities thrive when people are willing to devote their time, energy, and care toward collective goals. This perspective has guided much of her involvement in Field and continues to shape her interest in community development and local impact.
Outside of her professional and volunteer commitments, she enjoys travelling, paddleboarding, and hiking with her family!
Katrina is passionate about strengthening the quality of life for Canadians and sees her work with GDCF as an opportunity to make a direct and meaningful impact within the local community.
Having already invested significant time in building connections and creating opportunities in Field, Katrina is excited to bring those experiences forward in support of GDCF’s mission. Her work will focus on coordinating the Neighbourhood Small Grants and Community Grants Program as well as other engagement opportunities in our community.
We are excited to have her join the organization and look forward to the contributions she will make as part of GDCF’s ongoing work to support a vibrant and resilient Golden and Area A!
