Who are we?
Melissa Vroon and Voula Martin, two moms and best friends since high school, launched their first website, www.family funcalgary.com in 2008 out of frustration with continually missing out on the best family events. They saw a need for a website where parents could find out about the upcoming family friendly events and activities in Calgary, then set out to fill that need. With the success of Family Fun Calgary, they were able to expand nationally to include the national blog www.familyfuncanada.com then www.familyfunvancouver with more local city sites in development.
Armed with an International Relations degree from the University of Calgary, Melissa traveled the globe studying, working and volunteering in over 40 countries. After seeing what the world had to offer, Melissa and her husband decided to settle in her hometown of Calgary which they consider one of the best cities in the world to live and raise their two children.
A University of Calgary Political Science graduate and mom of two, Voula grew up in Calgary now lives in Greater Vancouver. Since leaving the corporate world behind to stay home with her children, she has rediscovered a love of writing and takes great pleasure in writing for the website, blogging and listening to her children laugh.
