Jan is a familiar face in Calgary’s sport, fitness and recreation industry, having served most recently as the CEO of The Glencoe Club. He started his career as General Manager of Calgary YWCA and has since held management positions at both the Winter Club and Vivo, bringing more than twenty-five years of industry management experience to his new role at Westside. His colleagues recognize him as a professional, visionary leader who exceeds expectations and challenges the status quo.

Jan was selected following a national search process which resulted in a field of excellent candidates. The Board believes that Jan’s history in the recreation services field, commitment to his staff team, and unique mix of skills and leadership qualities position him for success in leading the organization forward.

Welcome to Westside, Jan!
