about angela

In her previous role, Angela served as Spiritual Health Practitioner Team Lead, Central Zone, Red Deer, Alberta. She worked as a frontline chaplain in the non-profit sector for the Good Samaritan Society (AB) and Good Samaritan Canada (BC).

The CFSC/FCSS remains close to Angela’s heart since joining in 2016. Serving on the Foundation is exactly that – an act of service. Serving on both certification and peer review committees has provided Angela opportunities to get to know both newly minted and well-established spiritual care colleagues across the country.
Angela has lived in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and Alberta and has fond memories of each place and a definite favourite. One of the things she loves best about being a Spiritual Care Practitioner is the opportunity to hear other people’s stories from across the country or around the world.

Sandy Reynolds
​BC Region Representative

About Sandy

I have been a member with CASC since 2008 and just started as BC foundation representative.
I work as a Spiritual Health Practitioner for Island Health in Comox and Campbell River hospitals.
Before my CPE residence, I finished a MDiv and MA at Ambrose seminary. I had done prior studies at Calvin seminary and a BA from University in Calgary in Religious Studies.
My journey in Spiritual Health Care has been full of turns and adventures! A mixture
of experiences in hospice/palliative care, hospital, geriatrics and some forensics with
lots of acute care mixed in! Originally trained in CPE in Calgary I have worked in both Alberta and BC .
I moved to B.C. in 2016 to work in Langley with a pilot project on a specialized geriatric interdisciplinary team to provide care for seniors in their homes and part-time in the hospital. I moved back to Calgary 2020 to work in a hospital for a year but missed B.C. too much, although it was great to catch up with old friends. I just missed the ocean and having mountains to the east! I still visit Vancouver and Calgary to see my grown children and young grandson. In my last move to BC in August 2021, I bypassed the Vancouver area and moved to Vancouver Island where I live in Campbell River. I enjoy beach walks, nature trails, and exploring the island often with my pug.
