True grassroots leadership is about bringing people together – and Steve Compton, CEO of the YMCA of Regina, and Troy Verboom, CEO of Sherwood Co-op, have done just that. United by a shared vision and community-first values, these leaders turned partnership into progress with the launch of a 19,000 sq. ft. childcare facility offering 170 not-for-profit licensed spaces. More than just bricks and mortar, the YMCA Childcare Centre is a testament to their belief in connection, care, and long-term impact. Their collaboration redefines what it means to lead, by putting families, children, and community at the heart of every decision. A shining example of grassroots leadership in action.
