Cassandra Holman

Hello BRLA Community! I am super excited to be one of this year’s summer interns! I will be working alongside Dean and the awesome volunteers throughout the summer to make this year the best one yet. 

A little something about me – I have been on the Big Rideau since I was just a wee baby, I even learnt to swim on this lake! I love to be on the dock or on a boat cruising up and down the lake, as well as playing my hand in wake surfing, because it is way slower than tubing or wake boarding! I also absolutely love horses, so if you see me at an event feel free to chat horses, or lazy boat days with me, I love to chat!

Hi BRLA community, I’m thrilled to be joining the team as one of this year’s summer interns. I’ll be working alongside Cassandra to help support the amazing volunteers who make everything run so smoothly. 

A little about me—I've spent every summer on the lake for the past 10 years, and in that time, I've developed a real passion for watersports. If you catch me at an event, feel free to ask me about them—I’m always happy to chat (and probably won’t stop talking once I start!). 

I’m really looking forward to another fun and meaningful summer on the lake!
