LYNDA MOORE (she/her)

Implementation & Evaluation Lead

Lynda Moore works to build community for families and individuals with a focus on inclusion and authenticity. She has a passion for meaningful story sharing and uses this in her work as a family partner in health research.  She shares her lived experience as a parent to a young child with medical complexity to build collaboration with community partners toward common goals and to bridge gaps in access for families. She brings experience working with diverse teams of health organizations, families and rehabilitation research teams to her role as Implementation Lead for the OneAbility Games.

With a BFA in creative writing from the University of Victoria, she has found a voice in storytelling to build knowledge mobilization in research initiatives and implementation for health practices. Her passion is with the connecting values that make up a community of support and wellbeing for each family while honouring their authenticity and supporting their needs and dreams.

She is on the Board of Directors for the Cerebral Palsy Association of British Columbia and a co-investigator and Family Knowledge Broker with CanChild Centre for Childhood-Onset Disability Research in McMaster Univeristy where her current focus is with the F-words for Child Development projects, training and implementation. She is the lead of a Community Pillar’s Project in BC that brings together school support, adaptive/inclusion sports and recreation with advocacy and family/individual support utilizing the F-words training and implementation to create a network of support for children and their families in community environments outside of health organizations.

Lynda is the proud mom of a young, aspiring athlete and is passionate to co-create a holistic, strength-based atmosphere that offers guidance, inclusive supports, learning opportunities and of course friendships, fitness and fun by bringing the child and family centred approach of the F-words for Child Development to the OneAbility Games and to our community partners.
