Meet Kim, also known as, “Butterfly”!

Kim has been part of The City of Red Deer's Recreation family for 15 years and currently works as a Dryland Program Leader at the Collicutt Centre. You can find her helping create fun, welcoming experiences through our Childminding, Busy Buddies and Parents Night Out programs.

When asked why she loves working in recreation, her answer was simple: “I love the children.”

Kim encourages families to come check out City recreation facilities, saying there is always something to do. She especially recommends Childminding as a great place for children to have fun and connect with others while parents take a little break.

Outside of work, Kim enjoys participating in water workouts at the Don Moore Recreation Centre.
