It is a privilege to work with such a great group of people. Much has changed over the last 15 years since I began this ministry. I look forward to what we can accomplish together in the coming year. You can read more of my background in the chaplain section of the website.

Anita, born and raised in Bavaria, Germany was first introduced to harness racing by her husband Luc when they met in NYC in 2000 but it wasn’t until their move to Canada in 2003 that she became actively involved in the industry. Her husband has been a supporter of the Chaplaincy since its inauguration and over the years Anita joined his efforts in sponsoring the annual golf tournament and other outreach programmes. Currently breeding, owning and training Standardbreds, Anita knows all about the highs and lows of the industry and strongly feels that the racing community is in need of an emotional, spiritual and financial safety net. Chaplain Ken is able to provide that and she is looking forward in supporting the mission of the Chaplaincy by joining the board of Directors.

I am the chaplain’s better half. We have been married since 1963. I have always supported Ken in his work with the horses as well as the ministry. We get to work together in many aspects of the chaplaincy. When he is called to minister to someone who is sick or hurting, I sometimes accompany him especially for those suffering from cancer because I have been taking treatment for the past 8 years and can relate to them in some ways. We are looking forward to what the Lord has in mind for the coming year.
