Director & Treasurer
Over 25 years management and entrepreneurial experience. Shawn started his first company at 18 years of age and successfully grew the operation to spearhead its sale 3 years later. His methods have been documented in University level business course case study text books, and are used as course curriculum.  A large amount of Shawn's management experience comes from the hospitality industry spanning Caribbean, Central America, and North America, as General Manager and as Corporate Director of multiple properties from private & independent brands, as well as Starwood Hotels & Resorts, and Nikki Beach Hotels & Resorts.  Shawn's expertise in the hospitality sector was noticed by the workforce accommodation sector of oil & gas in the Canadian market.  His innovations to the industry have made him sought after by private and large corporate companies in this sector looking to have him teach their organizations how to change their methods to attract and retain their workforce.  Shawn is also Cancer survivor and an experienced user of CBD for pain management and treatment so he has a very insightful view to share with all.

Chantale Desilets

Secretary & Director
Originally from Quebec, I have called Calgary my home for the past 12 years, a city that has deeply influenced my professional journey. With a background in Business Administration, I embarked on a career path that initially saw me excel as a buyer, blending acute business acumen with an eye for market trends.

Transitioning seamlessly into the field of marketing, I have dedicated the last decade to mastering this dynamic arena. My passion for marketing culminated in the establishment of my own agency, where I channel my expertise to drive innovative strategies and deliver impactful results.

Beyond my professional endeavours, I am deeply committed to giving back to the community, actively seeking ways to help and make a positive difference in the lives of others. This blend of professional expertise and community spirit is what I bring to the Foothills Concussion & Rehabilitation Centre.
