Heather has been a driving force behind the growth of softball in the community….serving as TCA President, Scheduler and taking on many other roles as needed. She led the successful amalgamation of the Warman Minor Softball Association and the Martensville Amateur Softball Association into what is now the Twin City Softball Association, helping boost registration numbers and bringing the two communities and surrounding areas together.
Heather has dedicated countless hours into organizing major softball events, including the 2023 U15 Provincial Championship and the recent 2025 U17 National Fast Pitch Championship in Warman. Her leadership helped make these events a great experience for players and families, while also giving a nice boost to local businesses and the community.

She has been an invaluable resource for the club and has been a big part of the rapid expansion of volleyball in our community.
