Jamie Olmstead radiates compassion and friendship.

Her selflessness shines as she supports those close to her, drawing from her past struggles to ensure no one feels alone.

“Your support system is everything, and not everyone has great ones,” says Olmstead.

“I think being there for others and being kind really has an impact on our world today and could change it if we all had a little more compassion for others. “

From thoughtful gifts to watching over friends’ children, Olmstead’s kindness knows no bounds.

Olmstead fosters relationships among women, breaking the ice in group settings and attending events promoting well-being. She also volunteers with many local organizations including Boo at the Creek, Airdrie Festival of Lights and the Food Bank. Monthly, she donates to the Alberta Children’s Hospital.

Nominator Veronica Stone says Olmstead’s dedication to unity and sisterhood creates a supportive environment for all.

“Jamie possesses a heart that shines with compassion,” says Stone.

“Jami’s incredible heart deserves recognition for the love, support and profound impact she brings to those fortunate enough to call her a friend. She is a living example of kindness, generosity and genuine friendship, making the world undeniably better with her presence.”
