Jill comes from Eastern Maritime roots, and grew up in the Grand River watershed, Six Nations Territory. She moved to Vancouver Island in 1996, and has worked to engage communities in protecting threatened ecosystems ever since.
Jill holds a Bachelor of Environmental Studies and a Bachelor of Arts, and has 30 years’ experience in environmental education and non-profit program leadership, fundraising, community engagement, and somewhat begrudgingly, non-profit administration.
Jill is an experienced community builder who seeks out people who feel motivated to work collaboratively for an ecologically thriving and sustainable future, while having a bit of fun. She found the Watershed Board teeming with them!
