(Honours), Environment & Resource Management I live in Victoria British Columbia, traditional territory and home to the Coast Salish Lekwungen speaking peoples. Surrounded on three sides by ocean waters, Victoria is a truly beautiful and bountiful place. My experience in community development and environmental management is grounded by my life experiences, nurtured through formal education, and expressed throughout my work. Having completed short and long-term projects in Ontario, Yukon Territory and British Columbia over the last 35+ years, I have led more than 40 inter-organizational committees and project teams … and produced a lot of reports! I think it’s safe to say that at least some of my work has brought about lasting and positive benefits. My developmental approach builds capacity and leadership on both individual and organizational levels. I carry this approach into my volunteer work as well.	View
