Kimberley Presser is a dedicated visionary and trailblazer, currently serving as the CEO of Between Friends; an organization committed to providing quality social, recreation and development opportunities so that people with disabilities can connect, grow and belong.
In 2006, Kimberley's passion for making a difference led her to Calgary, where she joined the team at Camp Bonaventure as a group leader. Little did she know that this move would not only change her career trajectory but also shape her lifelong purpose. Between Friends quickly became more than a workplace-it became her second home, igniting her dedication to fostering equal opportunities and transforming lives.
As the CEO of Between Friends, she has spearheaded initiatives that challenge societal norms and perceptions, aiming to dismantle barriers that hinder the full participation of people with disabilities in recreational activities. Her tenacious drive to bridge gaps and cultivate an inclusive environment has touched the lives of countless individuals, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy - Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika - the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
