MEET THE BOARD
Founding Member
I’m Joanne Dickson and I have been on the NAR Board since it was founded in January of 2009. I have always been a huge animal lover and was concerned about the plight of stray animals in our community so I decided to do what I could to help. All of our family pets have been rescues and have been such amazing dogs. I am extremely proud of our organization for what we’ve accomplished with the help of many partners over the past decade. I am excited to set goals at the start of every year.
Member-at-Large
My name is Maija Enns and I'm new to La Ronge. I first became interested in volunteering with NAR shortly after the move when I noticed many loose dogs in the area. My husband and I have two rescue dogs, Roxy and Gatsby. They have enriched our lives beyond any measure and I know that every animal in need of a good home can do the same for the right person.

ALEX MUNRO
My name is Elise Burgert. I moved to La Ronge in the summer of 2024 and quickly became involved with NAR. I have a pomsky (pomeranian-husky) named Buck and he is my fabulous adventure companion/teddy bear. I love the great skiing, hiking and canoeing in La Ronge and have enjoyed giving back by helping the local dogs and cats. It is very empowering to be able to take action when I see animals in need now!
Founding Member and Member-at-Large
My name is Colleen! I have lived in La Ronge since 1984. I have 3 children and 4 grandchildren, all of whom live in the La Ronge area. I enjoy my time living in the north, and spend my free time walking my dogs, skiing the beautiful cross-country ski trails, and volunteering for Northern Animal Rescue. I see a great need for animal advocacy and protection, and feel very strongly about animal rights. My love for animals stems from a very young age of growing up on a farm.

LOGAN FISKE
My name is Logan Fiske! I have been volunteering for NAR since I was 13 years old and have been an active member of the Board of Directors since July 2017. My current role is the Community Engagement Lead. I was born and raised in La Ronge, and am currently attending the University of Saskatchewan (La Ronge Campus). Growing up, I had a family dog named Baryn who is still an important member of my family! In 2016, I adopted my dog Jack through Northern Animal Rescue after realizing that he was a “foster fail.” Most of my free time is spent relaxing at my cabin in the summer, snowmobiling or with my family and their 5 dogs. I have always had a passion for animals, and plan to get my Animal Therapy Certification to supplement my University education. NAR is an important organization that continues to help many animals that have been mistreated and abused. I truly believe that NAR is continuing to make a difference in animal welfare in Northern Saskatchewan!
