It’s that time again- another Staff Spotlight feature has arrived! 🔦![]()
![]()
👉 We introduce to you, Laura Smith! 👈![]()
![]()
We couldn’t be more thrilled to have had this lively and vivacious team member with us for a joyous year now. ![]()
![]()
Laura Smith grew up in the Robson Valley and after over a decade away working on her post-secondary education and career in social services, she decided to return to her roots to continue a career in the mental health field in her home community. With an extensive background in many different settings, including child welfare, daycare work and counselling, Laura was the perfect fit for the role of Child & Youth Mental Health Clinician. Her expertise also landed her the title of CYMH & Family Support Supervisor, where she oversees numerous staff throughout our organization.![]()
![]()
Laura made the move with more than just a new career on her mind, she knew that her community-minded hometown was the perfect place to raise a young family. With a new baby on the way, this newly expectant mother has been excited to meet other parents in the community and build upon the life that she has worked hard to create for herself. It goes without saying, it won’t be easy for this dedicated counsellor to stay away from the office, as she will dearly miss her clients while on maternity leave. ![]()
![]()
Even with a little one on the horizon, this lover of the wilderness hopes to continue fueling her passion for snowboarding, hiking and paddle boarding. “I’m thrilled to be in Valemount, where all this is at my fingertips!”![]()
![]()
Your zest for life is infectious, Laura! Your positive and bubbly attitude spreads around the office, and you’ve been an exemplary force of outstanding professionalism. ![]()

We are beyond thankful you decided to join the team and we certainly appreciate all that you do.![]()
