The Portage Friendship Centre's newest staff member will celebrate her one year anniversary of working at the centre next month. Rochelle Campbell, who works with the centre's parent/child program, says the past year at the centre has been amazing.

"[There's] great staff, great kids, and I've learned a lot in the past year working with the Friendship Centre. I've learned more about the community and it's just amazing how the Friendship Centre is out in the community and offering all different kinds of programs for people."

Campbell, originally from The Pas, explains she'd been living in Portage for a few years when the job found her. She adds she worked with the school system in The Pas for fifteen years and it prepared her for her work at the Friendship Centre.

Campbell notes she really enjoys working with the kids, their parents and the community. She says she plans on working at the Centre for many years to come.
