Community service
In addition to her role on the Barrie Construction Association’s Board of Directors,
company vice-president Katherine Van Leeuwen is actively involved in other commu-
nity activities, especially the Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka. She sat on the inaugural
committee and headed up the marketing for a Gilda’s Club garden party in 2008 where
the team raised more than $150,000 in one day. That same year, Katherine worked in
part with the BCA and Gilda’s Club in building a house in just 72 hours, while raising
$300,000 for Gilda’s Club – the largest single donation to the club’s capital campaign
at the time.
