Monica Brightwell is an Environmental Advisor and has been an avid volunteer within her environmental community. From 2009 to 2015 Monica took a break from volunteering to spend more time with family after her husband was diagnosed with ALS. After 5 years of learning how to be a spouse first and a caregiver second, Monica’s husband, Roger, passed away after choosing not to continue his care. Monica’s journey from there has led her to become involved with a local grief centre as a volunteer facilitator and with Soaring Spirits.
