Jenn has sat on the boards of a number of organizations, is a member of the Children’s Discovery Museum, and is chair of the Fund Development Cabinet for the Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon.

The Canadian Museum of History, formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization, is Canada’s national museum of human history.

The museum’s primary purpose is to collect, study, preserve, and present material objects that illuminate the human history of Canada and the cultural diversity of its people.

Congratulations Jenn!
