Shannon Oletic (University of Western Ontario), Kate Balah (Sheridan College of Design), Danny Brown (University of Toronto – Urban Planning), and Grace Babington (University of Toronto) have joined the Sustain team for the summer as part of a university co-op placement.

Kate will be using her illustration skills for logo development and conference promotion material. Danny Brown will be contributing to policy development and improving community engagement through social media, and Grace will be helping to improve office systems.

Matthew Landry and Emily Barrette will be working on various policy related activities, including supporting the Sustainable Restaurants Working Group and Ontario Food and Nutrition Strategy. Dilya Niezova will be joining the strategic development team and Allie Penner will be developing a social enterprise business plan. Kevin Draper and David Arron will be bringing their expertise in government policy analysis to Sustain Ontario’s government relations team. Alia Karim will be adding her energy to support Sustain working groups activities and Jolene Cushman will be bringing her enthusiasm to further develop the communication side of Sustain projects.
