Grace was a valued member of the Calgary Foundation staff team for the past 14 years. Her presence brought warmth, kindness, and an abundance of joy to our workplace every day. She was not only a pillar of knowledge and expertise but also a source of friendship to each one of us.

As ‘Grand Central,’ Grace was the hub, the go-to person for guidance, advice, and a listening ear. Her wealth of institutional knowledge was matched only by her warm and compassionate demeanor. She was a teacher and brought a calm and steady perspective to every problem. Her passing in April of 2024 leaves a giant hole on our team and in our hearts.

As we come to terms with this profound loss, we will remember Grace for the incredible person she was—a compassionate friend, a dedicated colleague, and a shining example of love and kindness. Though she may no longer be with us in person, her spirit will forever live on at the Foundation.

To honor the legacy of Grace, the Grace Chiu Memorial Fund has been established by her family at Calgary Foundation.
