I got my start in the outdoors on high school canoe trips to Algonquin Park. I've managed to play and work in a really wide range of ecoregions throughout Canada and am really happy now to be involved more on the education side and complete the circle by working in the area of water.

The Water Stewardship Education Program is a learning resource (lessons plans and materials) available to all Basin school teachers to bring local water issues into their classes, while addressing IRPs. I'm looking forward to working with teachers and other Environmental educators to see this resource used more, and expanded and improved with time.
