Heather was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. With education and experience in Foods and Nutrition, the lure of the mountains brought her out to Banff to work at a hotel. A year later, she settled in Calgary, where she currently works as a health and safety professional. Music and choir have always been a part of Heather's life, as she started singing in choirs at school, the church and joined the Winnipeg Girl's Choir to gain more training and experience.
Heather says that ARC is a welcoming community that helps to build friendship, confidence and music skills and the opportunity to share our gifts (and hard work) with others. Music and singing are great opportunities to share emotion and a story through sound and to challenge yourself in learning new skills and songs.
While her music tastes are eclectic, Heather always comes back to the old Broadway musical records she had in her collection; Grease, Fiddler on the Roof, Mary Poppins and Phantom of the Opera to name a few!
