Carolyn has coordinated Sustain Ontario’s Edible Education Network, a community of practice that is working to connect children and youth with healthy food systems, since 2013. Since 2018 she has supported the coordination of the Coalition for Healthy School Food, a network of over 300 non-profit member organizations from every province and territory advocating for the creation of a universal cost-shared school food program for Canada. Carolyn also plays the role of Research and Knowledge Translation Lead for Farm to Cafeteria Canada, which supports students and school communities to make informed food choices while contributing to vibrant, sustainable, economically viable regional food systems that support the health of people, place and planet. In all of these roles she brings together individuals and groups to share resources, ideas, and experience; coordinates joint projects; and supports efforts across the province to enable children and youth to eat, grow, cook, celebrate, and learn about healthy, local and sustainably produced food.
Carolyn studied Environmental Science at the University of Guelph and received her Masters degree in Adult Education and Community Development from OISE, University of Toronto. She currently spends her free time keeping up with 2 boys and helping them develop a love for good food.
