Canmore Hospital Foundation

11/13/2025

We are pleased to welcome Renée Krysko as the new Executive Director of the Canmore Hospital Foundation.

Renée is passionate about people, community, and connection, values that align beautifully with the Foundation’s mission of building a healthier community together. She brings vision, vibrance, and thoughtful leadership to strengthen local healthcare, deepen community engagement, and inspire generosity across the Bow Valley.

Renée joins us after 15 years with the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, where she advanced from Communications Manager to Director of Donor Relations. Her work there centred on building strong partnerships, inspiring giving through meaningful storytelling, and uniting people around shared purpose. She is excited to bring that same commitment to nurturing a healthy, connected community here at home.

Her career began in the tourism world, where she spent nearly a decade designing and leading cycling tours through France, the Canadian Rockies, and across Europe. Whether guiding a group or guiding a mission, her goal has always been the same: to create experiences that connect people to place and to one another.

Born and raised in Alberta, Renée is grounded by the mountains she calls home. She finds inspiration in skiing, dancing, cycling, and the reminder that well-being is something we cultivate together. We are thrilled to welcome her to the Foundation and look forward to the future we will continue to build for local healthcare, healthy families, and a healthy community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the inaugural Sisterhood Summit. More than 130 guests came together in support of women’s health, raising over fifty thousand dollars for advanced equipment and compassionate care for women and families across the Bow Valley. The event also marked the launch of the Women’s Health Circle, a new donor community committed to closing the women’s health gap and ensuring exceptional care close to home.

The afternoon was filled with connection, inspiration, and purpose, and the momentum created in that room is already helping move vital projects forward. We are deeply grateful to Level III NDT Inc. for presenting this important event, and to every sponsor, donor, volunteer, and local business who contributed to its success. Your generosity is helping us take meaningful steps toward bringing essential equipment and technology to our hospital.
