Born and raised in Calgary, Heather Edwards earned a master’s degree in Political Science and worked for 12 years in Ottawa as a Director of Communications (Revenue, Fisheries and Oceans, Energy) under the government of The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien. She is a co-author and editor and has produced several award-winning arts documentaries. She is a partner at Adara Venture Capital whose focus is investing in western Canadian life-science startups. Heather works closely with not-for-profit organizations of all kinds and currently runs a major private foundation that, in part, fosters excellence and innovation in music and the arts through collaborative events.

Heather has served on the board of Honens and the Calgary Humane Society, and currently sits on the National Arts Centre Board of Trustees (Ottawa) and the Board of the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto).

Heather lives in Calgary and is a proud single mom to a 19-year-old son, Adam, and a dog, Dash. The three spend many of their days rock climbing and enjoying the outdoors.
