She was the founder and co-ordinator of the Elizabeth Fry Society’s youth court program in 1990, joined the board of directors of the Elizabeth Fry Society in 2000 and served as its president in 2002. Gloria also volunteers with the Society’s Legal Clinic program operating out of the Edmonton Institution for Women.
