Meet Rowan's mom, Lisa, and big sister Paige
We love meeting our Easter Seals families, and today we want to spotlight Rowan and his mom, Lisa Parent, along with his big sister Paige. Lisa had a wonderful story to share as she went to Italy as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange Program in 1997/98 and says Rowan’s new role as ambassador is similar to being an exchange student. While in Italy, she learned many leadership skills, and she knows that over the next year, Rowan will also build many lasting new friendships and be a great spokesperson for what it is like to have a disability. We can’t wait for Rowan, his mom and big sister to join us on our 2026 Tim Hortons School Ambassador Tour. We will share more details when Paige is back home from attending university off-Island.
