At the heart of Rebecca’s work, volunteering and leisure pursuits is a love of nature and a deep if inevitably frayed belief that a healthy, co-creative relationship between people and planet really is possible. As former Director of Strategic and Community Initiatives at the Ottawa Community Foundation, she led the Foundation’s community grants programs, supported numerous strategic initiatives, and enabled knowledge-sharing and collaboration in Ottawa’s charitable sector on a range of issues including food security, youth employment and affordable housing. While at the OCF, she also led the establishment of the Ottawa Climate Action Fund. As a consultant, a facilitator and a public servant, she led and contributed to many environment and sustainability policies, programs, projects, events and evaluations at local, national and international levels. As a volunteer, she has played a founding role in various organizations and projects to advance community-based sustainability.
