Christa has been a faithful friend, supporter, and ambassador of Advokate for a few years now. Christa attended her first Celebrate Life Gala with a friend and knew right away, “I want to be a part of this!” She has enjoyed the Walk for Life and Celebrate Life Gala every year since then and always brings others along. “I’m proud to support what Hope for Women does in Prince George before, during, and after pregnancy.” As a parent on the Parent Advisory Council engaging with the school district, Christa has noticed a gap in education for our students and many young people struggling with making decisions with little parental or family support. “I believe with education and counselling, expecting parents can make an informed decision and get the support they need from Advokate to choose life!”
