Vice Chair - MJ Siebold

MJ has been an animal lover all her life.  She graduated from the Animal Health Technician program at NAIT in 1983 & began working at the Lynnwood Veterinary Hospital.  In 1990 she, her husband & 2 boys moved back to her hometown of Lac La Biche where they have a small farm, having had pigs, cows, horses & most recently Boer goats!  In addition to their small goat herd, they also consider a llama, 3 dogs and 2 cats as members of the family.  She was involved in 4-H both as parent & Veterinary Science Project leader for well over a decade.  From the time she was a small girl, she rescued anything that needed help, from birds, to caterpillars to our four-legged companion animals.  When expecting her first son, her sister said to her “I just can’t picture you with a baby… a litter of puppies for sure though!”  
She has always been a big believer in “being the change you want to see in the world”, & recognized many years ago that there was a desperate need in our region for an animal rescue/shelter. So, in 2014, when her boys were grown & gone, she set out to establish one.  On October 29, 2014 she was elected as Board Chairperson to the newly incorporated Lac La Biche Regional Humane Society & served 4 terms in that role.  She recently took a half-step back to the Vice-Chair position, with her focus now on programming & fundraising.   She is proud to be a part a community that recognized there was a problem with so many animals in need, & then embraced the Humane Society as a key part of the solution in ensuring the animals in our region are treated humanely.

Director at large - Staci Lattimer

​Staci grew up in southern Ontario.  She moved to Lake Louise after finishing her Recreation & Leisure studies and ended up loving Alberta so much she stayed.  Staci and her family moved to Plamondon in 2013.  Staci has always had a passion and love for animals and has owned dogs and cats her entire life.  She currently has 2 dogs and 2 cats.   Staci began volunteering for LLBRHS in November 2018 and was shocked at the number of cats and dogs (and litters) coming through the shelter.  She has fostered short-term stays for kittens and puppies when the shelter is at capacity.  She spent almost a year developing the Spay Neuter Incentive Program (SNIP) to reduce overpopulation and unwanted litters in the LLB region.  The SNIP program was implemented in February 2020 and has approved 45 applications to date.  Staci has previous board and secretary experience, so when the secretary position became available she jumped at the opportunity (even if it is an interim role).  She is excited to be part of the LLBRHS board and looks forward to helping more animals in our community!

She is currently the proud mom of 7 Fur Babies, 3 dogs 2 of which were rehomed to them, 4 cats 1 of them who is now 16yrs old, happy and healthy that she adopted as a stray who was going to be euthanized by the vet back in the day when we had no Humane Society to house stray cats for more than 3 days.  She 100% support the work that the Humane Society does. Recently she has started fostering a few of the animals until they can be placed in there Fur Ever Home and have directed the TNR program for the Feral cat colony out at Golden Sands.  She is excited to join the board and help as many animals in need as possible.
