    Isabella (She/Her) - Events & Media Manger

    I am deeply passionate about the work we do at MPCPC and proud to serve the neighbourhood I live in. What inspires me most is seeing the tangible difference our efforts make, whether through small daily interactions, community events, or long-term initiatives that strengthen trust and safety. Having first joined MPCPC as an intern, I am grateful to now continue this work in a larger capacity, where I can contribute to both the growth of the organization and the building of lasting relationships that reflect the heart of Mount Pleasant!

    Nikta (She/Her) - Volunteer & Program Manager

    I care deeply about supporting our community and creating a welcoming space for everyone. I enjoy helping volunteers find meaningful ways to get involved and grow in their roles. Good communication and teamwork are important to me, and I always try to be approachable and reliable. I work hard to keep our programs organized and running smoothly. My goal is to support our volunteers, build strong community connections, and help make Mount Pleasant a safer and more connected neighbourhood. I look forward to meeting more community members and working together.

    Ida (She/Her) - Executive Director

    With 20 years of experience in public health, nonprofit, and tech, I have worked in a wide range of services, from counselling, housing, gender-based violence, to employment. I love setting people and organizations up for success, and am deeply passionate about working with community partners to deliver lasting impact. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active—outdoors, at the gym, with a good book, or an interesting podcast. I am excited to get to know everyone, stop by during CPC hours to say hi!
