Deserée Wiebe
Finance Manager
By day, Deserée manages pretty much all aspects of the money and Human Resources side of Circle, and keeps us compliant with government regulations pertaining to charities and labour standards. Her volunteer ministry involvement is currently focused on senior high youth, with a long history in kids ministry.

By night (or weekend) you will most likely find her painted green at a Riders game, playing a board game that involves more thinking than Monopoly, maybe riding her bike, or even tripping the light fantastic at a local ballroom dance event. Regardless of what she's doing, she'll be doing it with good friends and family. If you want to treat her, think gummy candies - not chocolate!
