Russell is the glue that holds us all together. He built Barb's Place with his wife- Barb! Needless to say he has been a part of the program since day one and it shows. He leads with compassion, has the biggest heart, is a genuine listener and is always ready to help out! He is our office administrator and always goes the extra mile to make sure you know and feel appreciated.

When Ben isn't working with CN railway he loves to join us for a snack, share stories, play games and answer any questions we have about trains. If it wasn't for Ben, we wouldn't have our sweet Callie girl. They have been best friends since 2013 and are the greatest duo!
