Cori Thompson
Treasurer
Cori was born and raised in the Diamond Valley area (Millarville) and from a very young age was involved in the community alongside her parents and extended family. She grew up seeing how a connected community can support and bolster its members through even the toughest of times.
What began as simply wanting to sit on the Parent Council of her daughters elementary school to get connected since her career keeps her occupied during school hours, quickly became a passion for wanting more and a determination to make it happen.
Cori was the first employee hired by a startup software development and IT Management company and has been instrumental in growing that company to the thriving success it is today. You don’t get to become a 25-person multi-million dollar corporation without encountering obstacles; Cori does not shy away from a challenge.

Tania Ryckman
Director of Marketing & Communications
Tania moved to the Foothills in 2015 seeking a slower pace to raise her growing family away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Building relationships with other families and community members in the last 8 years made this a natural fit in wanting to get involved more and make an impact where it counts!
Tania spends her days in the fast paced advertising industry and enjoys facilitating campaigns all over the country. In her spare time (what spare time!?), her favorite spot is the dog park in Black Diamond where she spends countless hours with her doggie and family.
