campus and in the community. I learned techniques that are commonly used for environmental data collection using various

Sustainabililty Ambassador - Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup
Organization: Sustainability
Dates: (10/17/2015 - 10/17/2015)
Description
Every year, Sustainability Ambassadors from Niagara College participate in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. This initiative is
presented by Loblaw Companies Limited, and a conservation and cleanup initiative of the Vancouver Aquarium and World Wildlife
Foundation (WWF), and is one of the largest environmental community engagement programs in Canada. Community members are
encouraged to get involved with water quality and conservation issues in their communities. Shoreline litter is a serious issue, and
since the beginning of this initiative approximately 1.1 million kilograms of litter has been removed across Canadian waterways. I
gained leadership, communication, networking, volunteer coordination skills as well as a deeper understanding of waste
management and issues from a local context.
