Susan Campbell - Executive Director

Hello, my name is Susan Campbell and I am the new Executive Director of the CPCC. I previously worked as the Director of the Pregnancy Care Centre in Rocky Mountain House for 7 years and come with a great deal of experience. I was very honoured to be involved in starting the Pregnancy Care Centre in Rocky Mountain House building the Centre from the ground up to a thriving, well known and respected community resource.

I am very excited, honoured and privileged to have this opportunity to continue walking alongside women, men and families experiencing unexpected pregnancy and related issues in Cochrane and the Bow Valley communities. I am also very excited to become part of this amazing team of dedicated Board members, staff and volunteers of CPCC.

When I am not at the Centre, I love spending time with my two daughters and their families, including my 3 beautiful grandchildren, walking my furry companion, Maddi and spending time with friends. I love having a nice cup of tea, kicking my feet up or going for a leisurely drive and listening to inspirational music.

Kari Calderwood - Client Services Facilitator

Meet Kari Calderwood, CPCC’s Client Services Facilitator! Although you may recognize her as the Harpist who plays at various CPCC events. She’s been with CPCC since the summer of 2021 when CPCC first moved into our current office space. 

She graduated from Ambrose University with highest honours with both a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioural Science and a Bachelor of Science in Biology. She did her practicum at the Calgary Dream Centre, working with individuals recovering from addictions before starting to volunteer at the CPCC the following summer. 

Kari has since fallen in love with the work here, helping women and families build skillsets for healthy parenting, relationships, and life in general. She has found it such an honour to walk alongside our clients as they navigate their unique journeys. 

Kari is certified in various Bright Course Programs, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), Trauma-Informed Care, Emergency First Aid, and the Brain Story Certification. 

Teah Peregrine - Client Services Manager

Hello, my name is Teah Peregrine and I am the Client Services Manager at the Cochrane Pregnancy Care Centre. In 2023, I moved from Ontario where I had the privilege of being a client advocate at a centre there. My passion is working with and serving others in a variety of capacities. While in Ontario, I received my bachelors of theology and completed my level 1 and 2 of coaching with Leadership Coaching Canada.

I am very excited and grateful for this opportunity to walk alongside people experiencing unexpected pregnancy and related issues in Cochrane and the Bow Valley communities.

When I am not at the centre, I love spending time with my two children and husband of 9 years. I love having a nice cup of coffee (iced coffee in the summer), relaxing and going on adventures with my family.

Mahia Ricare - Office Administrator

Hi I’m Mahia, the office administrator at Cochrane Pregnancy Care Centre. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life. I am passionate in serving and caring for those who are around me. I believe that every person has their own story where we can learn and be encouraged.

It is a privilege to be able to provide assistance to our community through my organizational and hospitality skills. I have studied Hospitality Management and also hold a B.A. in Communication. I have volunteered for many years working with children and women in different capacities.

When I’m not at the centre, I spend my day enjoying life with my family and friends (I know they like my cooking). I love to dance to latin and country music and, when the weather permits, I love sightseeing in this beautiful province of Alberta.
