Our Team

No stranger to grand entrances, Briar was delivered onto a Picton Gazette newspaper in the backseat of her father’s car while crossing the Belleville Bridge. She grew up exploring the shorelines around Wellington and spent her childhood on West Lake, boating, beaching and pretending to be a mermaid. When confined to land, she was showing horses and writing short stories.

Briar dabbled in a couple of post-secondary courses before graduating from both the print journalism and post graduate public relations program at Loyalist College. Working part-time between the archives and County Weekly News during her last year of college, she learned of an opportunity with the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation. She applied for an internship in 2008, was subsequently hired, and has happily made the hospital her daytime hangout ever since.

Tanya has a great love for the community, calling Prince Edward County home for her entire life. She graduated from post- secondary programs including office administration, health records clerk and legal office assistant. She received her Certified Executive Assistance Professional designation in January 2025 and completed the human resources management principles course at Loyalist College in 2024.

Before starting with the foundation, she worked 14 years at the Picton ServiceOntario. Her passion for administration led her to our team and she is excited to be a part of helping make a difference in our community for years to come.

Tanya enjoys camping and making memories with her husband and two children.
