The new executive director of Agape House in Steinbach says she's up to the challenge.
Tracie Rigby is taking over for Debbie Anderson who was with the centre for 17 years.  Ribgy says Anderson will be a tough act to follow but she's looking forward to once again helping women who have been in an abusive relationship.  She previously worked at Agape House from 1999 to 2005 as a children's counsellor.  The first things on her agenda are to increase awareness of the women's shelter and bring in more donations because many things are not covered through their government funding.
