Gaileen Willick

Gaileen first joined the SCC in 1999 as a choir parent. Within five years, she was part of our management team and has been organizing us ever since! She has held many different positions within our team, and is now excited to have a bigger role as Operations Manager. In her life outside the choir, Gaileen has worked as hairstylist, operated two home based businesses, and most recently spent 16 years with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business as a territory manager.  Gaileen is married, a mom of two and grandma to four boys. Always ready for a challenge, there is not much she can’t organize!

“To meet children as young as age seven and watch them grow up in the choir has been the privilege of my life. I believe the Saskatoon Children’s Choir provides a safe space where children not only learn to sing, but are truly able to be themselves.”

The heart of The SCC

  • “A safe space, where my child can grow and mature. SCC allows my child to socialize in a safe and professional environment. It’s clear that the skills are learned here.”

    –Current Parent

  • “SCC strives for excellence but also gives children a place where they can learn and make mistakes”

    –Current Parent

  • “Choir really understands about kids. I always feel capable at choir because they always explain, in a kid-way, what I need to do”

    –Current Chorister, age 8

  • “SCC is a place of belonging, excellence, and so much joy. My daughter counts down the days until she can go to choir again. It has become her favourite place to be.”

    –Current Parent

  • “SCC is a family away from home”

    –Current Parent

  • “SCC means welcome, confidence, safety and joy!”

    –Current Parent

  • “I wish others knew how much children are capable of when surrounded by acceptance, safety, and love. SCC children shine!”

    –Current Parent

  • “A chance for my children to excel, to find that they are capable of creating amazing, beautiful things”

    –Current Parent

  • “SCC allows for personal and skill development in a manner that benefits my child. The interactions are positive and the growth occurs in real time.”
