CAMPING IN ONTARIO UPDATE | 16

Getting to Know Krista and Samantha
For those that call the office, you have probably deduced that we
love to keep you guessing about who is answering the phone. Not
really! But we definitely have had some new voices over the last few
years and we think that you will soon be able to count on which
voice you might hear. But, to make it interesting, sometimes I come
into the office and answer the phone too, much to the surprise of
many. (For those who don’t know, I work out of a home office in
Cambridge but calls get transferred to me so it feels like I am in the
Toronto office – I really am there in spirit!)

Krista Bethune, Membership Coordinator
Some of you met Krista Bethune at Convention but for those who
were unable to attend, we would like you to get to know her better.
Krista, along with three siblings, was born and raised in Scarborough although her parents were born in Estonia. Their families had
to flee to Sweden and they eventually ended up meeting in Toronto
where they settled.Her sister married a “kiwi”and moved to New Zea-

land about 20 years ago and her brother lives in Vancouver,BC.While
they are quite far, her other sister lives within walking distance.
Krista’s 6 year old son, Miika, is very much into skateboarding,
loves the outdoors and when he is not doing something athletic, he
loves to play video games or watch SpongeBob Squarepants (which
is actually quite a humorous show according to Krista).Her husband
Jarrod works in high rise construction as a steel worker. They saved
many wedding costs by eloping to Las Vegas to get married at a cute
little chapel (Elvis was NOT present) and have not looked back since.
A Fox Hound named Chuck and their newest addition,a Chihuahua
named Jax, round out the family.
Krista graduated with honours from Centennial College with a
diploma in Hospitality & Tourism. Since graduating, she worked in
hotels as a Sales Coordinator and Corporate Sales Manager. Her favourite foods are pizza, steak or a hearty gourmet burger. She recently discovered that she is a decent cook and enjoys finding new
ideas and recipes to try out. The staff at Camping In Ontario are willing to be the judges of anything new she wishes to create!
