Jan Sandholm

Vice President/Vice Chair

My name is Jan Sandholm. I am a re-calibrated long time resident of Campbell River. I have been involved in community service through recreation and volunteerism for the past three decades. I hold a degree in Recreation Management and studied community engagement and public participation. I was born in Campbell River; raised my family here; and worked as a manager of recreation services, facilities, events and programs. I am currently a small business owner with my husband Steve. I love living on the edge of the wild – outdoor activities such as hiking, camping and paddling; as well as, art, music fills my leisure time.

I enjoy contributing my organizational and communication skills to projects that mobilize and build community. You might find me setting up at a Live Streets event, leading an art activity, registering Terry Fox runners, selling tokens at the North Island Craft Beer Festival – I am a doer!

The passions and strengths I bring to CR Community Foundation include creative thinking, strategic planning –  a collaborator and team player. I believe in building connections, evidence based decisions and values driven change. The Campbell River Community Foundation is the link to connecting donors with community building non-profits, charities and projects.
