"The community is mourning the loss of Ellen Frood, recently retired executive director of Sage Haven Society, who died suddenly Oct. 15 of complications from surgery. Don Tecson, chair of the Sage Haven Society board, said Frood would often tell people “life brought me here (to ). I love this community. This is a mighty community.” “Port Alberni has suffered a great loss,” said Tecson, who considered Frood a friend as well as mentor.
Frood came to the city nearly 10 years ago and served nine and a half years as executive director with Sage Haven. She was a strong advocate for Port Alberni’s most vulnerable people, and spoke up against domestic violence in her role.
She is best known for opening wiiksahiqu?ilth, a second-stage complex for women and children in the Alberni Valley, in November 2023. The two-storey wooden structure provides 22 homes of varying sizes to for women and gender-diverse people leaving violence, including transgender women, Two-Spirit and non-binary people, and their dependent children in Port Alberni and surrounding areas.
Frood also led the effort to host an annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser in the Alberni Valley.
