The Foundation is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrea Lister and Patrick Lamontagne to its Board of Directors. The two new trustees, who are both members of the Webster family and share a passion for philanthropy, were officially onboarded at the latest Annual General Meeting of the R. Howard Webster Foundation.
A native of Ottawa and a graduate of the University of Waterloo, where she expanded her knowledge and interest in environmental ethics, Andrea Lister has more than 10 years of experience in the aviation industry, the majority of which have been spent working across Canada and globally as a pilot. Her career in aviation provided her with in-depth operational knowledge of various departments, practical skills, and a thorough understanding of company operations. Along with a keen interest in community support for different demographics, Andrea’s personal experience has contributed to her unique sensitivity to the need for society to support families of CAF personnel.
Patrick Lamontagne is the Director of Youth at Ocean Wise, where he leads national programs that empower young people to take action for ocean conservation. With over a decade of experience in youth engagement and an M.Ed. from the University of Toronto, he specializes in program design, strategic planning, and alumni engagement. Patrick has launched national volunteer initiatives, strengthened risk management systems, and serves on the board of the First Aid Ski Patrol. He is passionate about creating opportunities for youth to lead and believes their impact can ripple across communities and generations.
The Board looks forward to Andrea and Patrick’s insights and contribution to the Foundation’s mission of improving lives of Canadians from coast to coast.
