To the always supportive SHORE Centre Community:

On behalf of the SHORE Centre Board of Directors, it is with mixed emotions that I share the news today that Executive Director Kayla Orr will be leaving SHORE Centre.

Kayla started her role as SHORE’s Executive Director in January 2024. Prior to this, Kayla worked at SHORE Centre for over 10 years in various roles. During Kayla’s time at SHORE, she tirelessly promoted access to sexual and reproductive health services across the region, and beyond. Kayla was integral in implementing and operationalizing the clinical services at SHORE Centre. She collaborated with different community partners to solve the many difficult issues facing our community, and continued to build relationships, and advocate at the local, regional, provincial, and federal levels. Kayla leaves behind a remarkable and undeniable legacy at SHORE Centre. As Kayla moves on from SHORE, we will greatly miss her passion and leadership. #AbortionIsHealthcare

Kayla shares the following about her time at SHORE Centre – “As I embark on the next path of my journey, I leave with immense gratitude and confidence in SHORE Centre’s unwavering role as a cornerstone of support for our community. It has been an incredible honour to work alongside such a dedicated team, united by their passion for expanding access to sexual and reproductive health care, providing exceptional education, and advocating for the needs of those we serve. I am excited to see what is next for SHORE Centre as it continues to thrive in the years to come.”

Please join me in thanking Kayla for her work at SHORE Centre. The Board greatly appreciates all of her work and contributions to the organization. Kayla will remain in the Executive Director role until January 31, 2025. We will begin the recruitment process shortly to hire SHORE’s next Executive Director. SHORE is incredibly fortunate to have an extraordinary staff team who continues to provide the highest quality reproductive health care and sexual health education in our community and beyond.

Thank you so much for being part of the SHORE community and supporting our work. Please be in touch if needed.
