A final goodbye to Lauren McNair our Community Outreach and Social Engagement Specialist at Mosaic Home Care & Community Resource Centre
“A number of changes within Mosaic this year: firstly, Lauren McNair will sadly be leaving Mosaic to pursue her studies in the program Masters of Public Health. She has been with Mosaic for the last three years and our Mosaic team and community are excited for her.
“I will certainly miss Lauren working alongside me in the community. She is dedicated, hard working and together we brought many wonderful ideas for the community to take part in. She is deeply interested in how people connect in our city, how we can widen the scope of social prescribing and person centered community based care. She will be an outstanding asset to any organization, so watch out for her once she finishes her Masters!”

“As many of you may know, I’ve had the incredible privilege of spending the past three years with Mosaic as the Community Outreach & Social Engagement Specialist. During this time, I’ve been fortunate to connect with so many amazing individuals, participate in inspiring events, and create lasting memories that I’ll always cherish.
“Today, I’m excited to share that I will be starting a new chapter this fall as I begin the Master of Public Health program at Western University. While I’m truly looking forward to this next step in my academic and professional journey, it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to Mosaic and the wonderful community that has meant so much to me.
“Thank you to the Mosaic team for being so supportive of me during this time, and for being the most incredibly caring, hard-working and fun group of people to work with, we truly have the best team here! I am also so incredibly grateful to have been able to learn from my mentor and friend, Jane Teasdale. I have learned so much from working by her side, and we have had so much fun while doing it! I will certainly miss the entire team dearly.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the amazing community members I have been able to connect with everyday in my role here. Thank you for attending the events we lovingly organized, thank you for letting me be a part of your lives, thank you for sharing your stories, and thank you for imparting your wisdom on me, which I will take with me forever. This role has been incredibly fulfilling, and I feel so lucky to have made such wonderful connections with so many of you.
I am excited for you to all meet Priya Hawkins, who will be taking over this role upon my departure. She has such a bright spirit, lots of great experience in community building, and will certainly fit in perfectly at Mosaic. I have had so much fun here, and although the past few weeks have been bittersweet, I am excited for the new adventure to begin!”
With love,
Lauren McNair
