Major Gordon Taylor is a Salvation Army Officer currently appointed as the Executive Director of Saskatoon Centre of Hope.

Included in this responsibility are a 90-bed emergency shelter, a 30-bed correctional halfway house, a transitional group home for youth, transitional housing for men, outreach and support for people housed in community, emergency after hours assistance and an overnight winter warming centre.

Major Gordon Taylor grew up in Winnipeg and started attending Catherine Booth Bible College in 1983, attending school part time in the mornings while working full-time evenings in a local gas station. During this time, he completed a handful of Biblical courses.

In 1988 he married Karen Rich and shortly after began working for The Salvation Army, on the front desk at the old Men’s Hostel, which would later become the Winnipeg Booth Centre.

Major Gordon Taylor graduated from BUC in 2006 with his BA in Biblical Studies and has since then also completed the Certificate in Management and Certificate in Applied Leadership programs at Booth. He also went on to further education, graduating from Wesley Biblical Seminary in 2021 with an MA: Apologetics.

"My name is Lieutenant Kaitlin Russell, and I am currently the Corps Officer and Community Ministries Officer in Sudbury, Ontario at The Salvation Army Sudbury Community Church and Community Services.

I graduated in February 2020 with a Bachelor of Social Work.

Booth was my saving grace – after a rocky first year of university in Ontario, pursuing a degree in Science, I was looking for something more. I often found myself skimming through Social Work books in the university bookstore, dreaming of what it would look like to be in a profession that helped people.

When I spoke with my pastor at the time about my dreams, they suggested I attend Booth University College in Winnipeg. I took the leap of faith to not only change degrees but also move to another province, and it changed my life." - Kaitlin Russell, Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), 2020

“I was taught very early on the importance of serving others with humility, joy, grace and persistence... Learning is not only lived ‘within’ but lived ‘without.’ With others and outside of oneself. This is the Booth way.” - Corinne Saulnier

| When Pamela San Diego first arrived at Booth University College, she called it a "leap of faith." By the time she took the podium as the Class of 2026 Valedictorian, that leap had transformed into a masterclass in structural resilience.

While completing her Bachelor of Social Work, Pamela San Diego balanced the responsibilities of serving as Student Council President, working as a Student Engagement Coordinator with Student Services at Booth UC, and leading several student volunteer initiatives—including partnering with the West Broadway Bear Clan Patrol to organize regular Bear Clan walks—while supporting her mother through a terminal cancer diagnosis until her passing.

Rather than allowing loss to diminish her, she transformed her grief into meaningful service, strengthening the Booth University College community through compassionate leadership, advocacy, and a deep commitment to belonging. Her dedication was recognized with the Chancellor's Medal, presented by Commissioner Lee Graves in recognition of her exceptional academic achievement, spiritual development, and campus leadership.

When Majors Al Hoeft and Karen McFarlane Hoeft graduated in 2003, they carried their degrees into a life defined by discipline, duty, and service. Over the two decades that followed, they have built outstanding careers while remaining a steady presence in their community.

For Majors Al and Karen Hoeft, Booth University College equipped them with more than knowledge. It equipped them with strong values, character, and a well-rounded education that prepared them not just for ministry but also for lives lived in service to others.

In April, Majors Hoeft watched their son, Nathanael, walk across the stage during his graduation, like they once did – and like Nathanael’s twin brother Zachary did in 2017.

That moment opened a new chapter for the Hoeft family as a now four-alumni household. For us at Booth University College, The Hoefts remind us that lasting impact means not just one achievement, but a legacy that grows over generations.
