Melissa Lotholz
Pushing a sled has pushed Melissa as a person. She has grown deeper and achieved higher than she ever thought possible because of the sport of bobsleigh! Along the way, she has had the incredible honour of motivating and leading others to reach their goals –impacting their lives and the greater community. For Melissa, that’s true gold.

Deina Warren
Deina completed her Hon. B.A. in Political Science at Western and worked for UWO before earning her Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Ottawa, where she graduated in the top 10 per cent of her class. During law school she was actively engaged with the student Christian Legal Fellowship chapter, and interned at the Senate Law Clerk’s Office, the Department of Justice Parliamentary Affairs Unit, and the Criminal Convictions Review Group. Deina articled as a Judicial Law Clerk in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Central-South Region. Called to the Ontario Bar in 2009, Deina then pursued her LL.M. at Osgoode Hall, which she successfully completed in 2012.
Since 2019, Deina has practiced as in-house counsel at the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities where she advises on a broad range of charity, tax and regulatory matters, religious freedom and human rights law, and engages in government consultation and advocacy. Prior to joining CCCC, Deina’s practice focused largely on constitutional and human rights law, with a focus on religious freedom. She has served as counsel in trial and appeal courts, including interventions before the Supreme Court of Canada. Deina enjoys legal research and writing, and her written work has been published in Policy Options, the Philanthropist, and the Supreme Court Law Review. One of her favourite things to do is translate legalese into relevant (and hopefully interesting!) terms for church leadership and the Christian community more broadly, and she often speaks on this topic at a variety of conferences and meetings. Active in her local church, Deina has served on a variety of charitable boards, is part of Christian Legal Fellowship, the Halton County Law Association, and the Canadian Bar Association. Outside of work, she enjoys reading biographies, baking, and exploring local trails with her husband and three daughters.
