Meet The Staff

Lindsay Lenihan, Executive Director

Lindsay joined the New Ross Family Resource Centre as Executive Director in June 2023 after serving on the board of directors for a year and a half. She is passionate about serving the community of New Ross and doing what she can to help everyone be their best self!

Lindsay moved to New Ross in 2016 with her now husband to his family home. Together they have two children. She has a degree in Business Administration with a major in Accounting and has a heart guided by community and helping others. In her spare time she loves doing anything crafty! From knitting to sewing, textile crafting always holds a special place in her heart!

Shelby Adams, Office Administrator/Facilitator

Shelby is a dedicated professional, heart-led healer, leader, and mother/step-mother rooted from Chester Basin. With over 13 years of experience in office administration, she balances her professional life with her spiritual calling. As a Reiki Master (Level 3), Shelby is devoted to the path of healing-continually expanding her knowledge through courses focused on trauma, growth, and transformation.

She leads with love, serving her community as President of a local soccer association and volunteer coach, empowering young people both on and off the field. Guided by a deep desire to make the world a better place, Shelby shows up fully for her children, her community, and all those in need. Her gift lies in going above and beyond-offering compassion, energy, and support wherever it’s needed most.

Janice Cornelius, BAP & Program Coordinator

Janice coordinates our NRFRC Programs, as well as the New Ross Before & After School Program. We’ve been lucky to have her since 2009. She was born and raised right here in New Ross, graduating from NRCS and moving on to Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, to pursue a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Psychology.

She is married, with two daughters, who are now young adults. Her nest isn’t empty as she has a dog, two cats, and two horses to keep her busy! She has always worked with children in many capacities from babysitting to looking after children in her home, to giving horse riding lessons, and now working at the Resource Centre!
