About Betty Fraser

Betty Fraser, supervised practicum students and was an active member of the social work community in southern Saskatchewan. She also served on many non-profit and church boards/committees while modelling her faith and value for human relationships.

During her career, Betty was the director of Dales House, a youth residential care facility, and the director of the Paul Dojack Youth Centre, a secure custody facility, both of which were located in Regina, SK. Later she became the director of the Regina Region of Social Services in Saskatchewan. Betty's integrity, humility and skill earned her the respect and admiration of many, including being named a Woman of Distinction by the YWCA in 1994. During her career she was invited by The Honourable Raynell Andreychuk to share her expertise with the Canadian Senate regarding youth in the criminal justice system.

Betty was raised on a farm near Saltcoats, Saskatchewan and knew first-hand the impacts of living in poverty. It is from her lived experiences that she developed her care for people and the motivation to improve the condition of people's lives while respecting the inherent dignity and worth of all people.
