It is Community Builders Day on PTBOToday.ca presented by Community Futures Peterborough.
From Toronto to Ireland to Peterborough, Laura Kennedy has been a well known voice in the community for over 12 years now.
Kennedy came back to Canada in 2008 to work as the Director of Public Relations with Peterborough Family Health Team and spent four years there before leaving to work for Boots and Hearts Music Festival.
She decided she wanted to come back to Peterborough to spend more time with her family and help local non-profits and coming back to the Peterborough Family Health Team Foundation was a great fit, this time as an Executive Director.
Kennedy says she feels she’s always lived a very privileged life and grew up in a great home, which an experience not everyone gets. She says it’s because of this she loves to give back and give everyone that chance.
