Remembering Heather

We will forever miss our cherished friend and colleague of 16 years, Heather Johnson, who passed away on April 24th. As the BC&Y Branch's director of programs, Heather was a passionate and strong advocate for kidney patients. In her tenure, she pioneered many new initiatives to improve the quality of life for those most at risk and vulnerable. Heather served as a mentor and inspiration to the Branch team and held an incredible and vast knowledge on all topics related to kidney health. Her great attention to detail also earned her the title as our in-house editor. Heather was known for her wicked sense of humour and could always be counted on for the best, zinger punchlines in a conversation.

Outside the office Heather was an avid paddler and traveller. She will also be remembered for her incredible love and support for animals, including her beloved dog, Lili. While we struggle to make sense of this huge loss, what we know is that Heather made the world a better place and we are better for knowing her. We will miss her dearly.
