According to a press release, Shepard has opted to pursue a new opportunity.

The following is a statement from Shepard:

“I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked with a team of dedicated staff, volunteers, donors and sponsors. During my time at BBBS, we’ve made significant strides in supporting Peterborough's children and youth. Together, we’ve been able to create so many mentoring memories by matching “bigs” with their ‘littles,’ creating lasting friendships and positive impacts. I am grateful and proud of what we’ve accomplished together.

Effective July 12th, I will be stepping down from my role. The organization is in capable hands, and I have full confidence in the team’s ability to continue our vital work. Please support and encourage them as they continue to bring their dedication and enthusiasm to their work.

Thank you for your unwavering support of our mentoring mission. Your dedication changes lives, and I am honoured to have been part of this journey.”
