Sarah Bilagot-Armstrong

Sarah says that she has come to know the diligent and exceptional work that is done at Pathways through her former employment here, as a community partner and as a parent.  Pathways, its growth and future are especially dear to her from these experiences. Sarah feels that her passion for advocacy and desire to give back to her community could not be better suited to an organization.

Sarah is a mother of two, wife, small business owner and community volunteer. While it has been some time since she worked at Pathways, she was excited to learn of the progress and growth that has taken place. Sarah is looking forward to being part of the group that will continue this trend towards a continually inclusive and progressive future through this organization.

Ellie Carson

Ellie has lived in Sarnia for over 10 years now but has loved the sandy beaches, family friendly parks, and bridge fries since she was a child. As Sarnia has always held a special place in her heart, it was natural to move here to continue her career in the field of mental health and substance use which has included work in direct client care, education, and eventually a Master’s degree and position in public health.

With the pressures of the pandemic and a growing family, Ellie saw Board service at Pathways Health Centre for Children as an important way to refocus her efforts to support young people and the community. She’s excited to bring her experiences as well as her learner’s mind to this opportunity to serve Lambton County.
