Joanna Gallivan-Smith was born in Edmonton’s inner city, and became inspired by her experiences to give back to those experiencing vulnerabilities. Joanna’s work is reflected upon in the Boyle McCauley News, in which she contributed to the ultimate goal of ending homelessness. Right at Home Housing Society is so grateful for advocates like Joanna, who continue to prove the compassion of Edmontonians towards providing a safe and comforting home to those experiencing poverty.
Joanna, while expanding her efforts outside of Edmonton, embodied the values that are consistent with our organization.

May Joanna Galivan-Smith’s legacy continue in the lives she’s touched.
