Valerie Maier, President

Diocese of the Yukon

Valerie Maier has been the president since 2018. Valerie recently returned to Ottawa from the largely First Nation community of Mayo, Yukon, where she and her husband served as volunteer lay ministers for six years. She is a retired teacher and very proud supporter of the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund’s vision of peace, equity and justice for all.  Her time in the Yukon gave her an enhanced appreciation of the need for healthy communities, and the importance of caring for each other with dignity and respect.

Valerie has a Master of Education degree from the University of Ottawa. In her career as a teacher, she worked extensively with students at risk, developing programs around environmental science and health issues. She offers experience in program planning, advocacy, risk management, strategic planning, and communications.
