Staff & Board

The administration and operations are led by Executive Director, Rayann Toner

Tearmann Society has a dedicated team of 8 full-time staff, several casual staff and 1 administrative assistant.  The full time staff are members of CUPE Local 4459.

Tearmann Staff consider it a great privilege to be a part of the lives of those accessing our services.   

“We offer a supportive environment that offers women a safe place to make choices about their own lives from a holistic and non-judgmental approach.  We support women by listening to their stories of intimate partner violence and providing women with resources to better understand gender-based violence and the profound effects this can have on women and their children.  Women experiencing violence in their relationships/families are given the tools to better safety plan and make informed choices about their lives.”

Board of Directors

There is much to champion when it comes to providing safe shelter and support for women and children who experience or are at risk of violence in our society. The Board Members of the Tearmann Society are one in their drive to achieve the best possible outcomes for such individuals.

Through their passion, dedication, and divergent backgrounds, our Board of Directors commit to the cause.  They are the allied voice to ensure our Mission and Vision is delivered to the community. The volunteer Board of Directors does not exceed 21 members at any time.
