Suzanne Conquer
Director
I have been part of the City of Guelph’s diverse and supportive running community since moving to the city in 2008. Knowing firsthand the benefits of exercise and nature on mental health, I was drawn to Up and Running Guelph’s mission to improve mental health and well-being through inclusive nature-based walking and running programs within a supportive community. I joined the Board in 2023 to help contribute to this wonderful community and help fulfill this mission.
I strive for reducing barriers and increasing diversity in the running and walking communities, including groups historically marginalized based on gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, age, religion and disability. When not at work for my day job, I spend my time volunteering in my union and running with friends, travelling (which often involves running), and hiking the Bruce Trail with my family.
I am honoured to be a part of Up and Running Guelph.
