Born in Saskatchewan and raised in Calgary, I have put what’s best for the community at the center of my mission as a volunteer, as a community leader, and as a philanthropist.
Originally, I found success tackling improvements in support of our health care system and women’s issues before turning my attention to the arts. In 2013 I began a six-year term on the Board of Directors at Alberta Ballet. With the guidance of experienced arts professionals, I gained a strong understanding of the critical work that goes into building a successful arts organization.
Previously I served on the Board of Directors of YW Calgary (2006-2012), with three years serving as Vice Chair, and the founding Chair of the YW Calgary “YWhipser Gala”, which has now grown into the organization’s largest fundraising event. In 2022 following Covid I returned to chair the YWhisper Gala alongside my daughter Emma Waller, as co-chair and my Mother M. Ann McCaig as Honorary Chair.
Jane lives in Calgary with her husband Rich Waller and two grown children, Emma (24) and Anthony (20) and their dog London (11).
