Angela and her family were active members at Trinity Anglican Church in Ottawa South. Angela was confirmed at Trinity, was a server and member of the choir. Angela was also an active participant with Canadian Girls in Training, an organization affiliated with the United Church which helped young girls grow in their Christian faith. In high school Angela was a volunteer with the Provincial Disabled Games helping disabled athletes prepare for competitions and giving moral support. Angela graduated from Woodroffe High School with her O.A.C. diploma before entering Algonquin College where she studied law and received her diploma in Legal Studies.
In 1992 Angela moved to South Western Ontario so she could be closer to her Father's side of the family. Angela enjoyed her extended family in Delhi and decided to make South Western Ontario her home. In her early twenties, Angela met her future husband, Kevin Brands, and married in October of 1996. Angela attended the Christian Reformed Church with Kevin for five years then they became members of St. John's Anglican Church. From 1998 until recently, Angela has had an active ministry in the church life at St. John's. She was the church secretary, treasurer and member of Parish Council.
