To our clients and community partners,

After 25 years of dedicated service, we proudly recognize the retirement of Sheila Crighton, a remarkable professional whose passion and advocacy have left an enduring impact on our community.

Throughout her career at the Sudbury Counselling Centre, Sheila served as a committed and compassionate employee, bringing integrity, insight, and care to every role she held. As a psychotherapist, Sheila skillfully blended clinical expertise with creativity, offering deeply meaningful and healing support to those she served.

A true pioneer within the violence against women community, Sheila played a vital role in advancing awareness, shaping survivor-centred practices, and strengthening systems of support. Her work was firmly grounded in feminist principles, reflecting a lifelong commitment to equality, justice, and the safety of women.

Sheila has been a tireless advocate and a trusted voice—one who led with empathy, courage, and conviction. Her contributions have not only improved individual lives, but have also helped build safer, more compassionate communities and inspired colleagues and future practitioners alike.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Sheila Crighton for her 25 years of service, leadership, and advocacy. As she enters this next chapter, her legacy will continue to guide and influence the important work ahead.

We wish Sheila every happiness, fulfillment, and well-deserved rest in retirement.

With sincere appreciation.

À nos clients et partenaires communautaires,

Après 25 ans de bons et loyaux services, nous sommes fiers d'annoncer le départ à la retraite de Sheila Crighton, une professionnelle remarquable dont la passion et l'engagement ont laissé une empreinte durable sur notre communauté.

Tout au long de sa carrière au Centre de Counselling de Sudbury, Sheila a été une employée dévouée et compatissante, faisant preuve d'intégrité, de perspicacité et d'attention dans toutes les fonctions qu'elle a occupées. En tant que psychothérapeute, Sheila a su allier avec talent son expertise clinique et sa créativité, offrant un soutien profondément significatif et apaisant à celles et ceux qu'elle accompagnait.

Une véritable pionnière dans le domaine de la lutte contre la violence faite aux femmes, Sheila a joué un rôle essentiel dans la sensibilisation, l'élaboration de pratiques axées sur les survivantes et le renforcement des systèmes de soutien. Son travail était fermement ancré dans les principes féministes, reflétant son engagement de toute une vie en faveur de l'égalité, de la justice et de la sécurité des femmes.

Sheila a été une défenseuse inépuisable et une voix de confiance, qui a su diriger avec empathie, courage et conviction. Ses contributions ont non seulement amélioré la vie de nombreuses personnes, mais ont également contribué à bâtir des communautés plus sûres et plus compatissantes, tout en inspirant ses collègues et les futures cliniciennes et futurs cliniciens.

Nous exprimons notre profonde gratitude à Sheila Crighton pour ses 25 années de service, de leadership et de défense des droits. Alors qu'elle entame ce nouveau chapitre de sa vie, son héritage continuera à guider et à influencer l'important travail qui nous attend.

Nous souhaitons à Sheila tout le bonheur, l'épanouissement et le repos qu'elle mérite durant sa retraite.

Avec toute nos sincères remerciements.
