A current Director of the Board with Ballet Kelowna and previously an active Board Member with the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, Tanja takes pride in being active in the community. In 2016, Tanja received the Grant Thornton Community Service Award for Western Canada. In a letter written to support her nomination for the award, CEO with the KGH Foundation Doug Rankmore writes:
“I think it’s important to say that there are few volunteers who have contributed so widely and so deeply to an organization. Tanja has left her mark on the KGH foundation and in doing so has created a legacy of impact in Kelownaâ€
