He brought students together with music and art by providing events throughout the year. Students gained confidence showcasing original work, received encouragement, and heard the gospel. Matt still loves to record and release music for himself and other artists.\u00a0 He recently left his successful role of \u2018Associate Pastor\u2019 in a local church, where he spearheaded outreach opportunities and programs to bring people together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matt will be focusing his time in Lindsay, assisting team members to build initiatives that will support more youth. He hopes to partner with business leaders to make a positive impact and liaise with community-minded people, while raising awareness and growth in the work that is being done by KLYU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matt loves boating, summer sunshine and a freshly cut lawn. His favourite thing is eating ice cream cones with his wife Karen.\u00a0 He\u2019s never met a taco that he didn\u2019t like. He is definitely not allowed in a music store without supervision.\u00a0 If you see him unattended, please call Karen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Info:<\/strong><br \/>\n905-442-7575<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:mfretz@kawyu.ca\">mfretz@kawyu.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"y-cig--right\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery extend\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery--sticky\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery--slick medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-gallery--slide\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/11\/2010.jpg);\" data-thumb=\"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2025\/11\/2010-300x268.jpg\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":1803,"parent":0,"template":"","department":[],"class_list":["post-1798","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/1798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/1798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"department","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/kawartha-lakes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/department?post=1798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
