Alison is a new Program Assistant for the spring/summer period at BurlingtonGreen. From a young age, Alison has enjoyed spending time camping and being outdoors with her family. Her passion for environmental education and advocacy began in high school and led to her decision to pursue a degree in Environment and Society from McMaster University.
During her time at McMaster, Alison also completed two minors in Sustainability and Community Engagement. These interdisciplinary minors provided her with opportunities to work with peers and community partners from diverse backgrounds and helped to drive her passion for facilitating sustainable community initiatives. One of her favourite projects was planning a community tree planting event for the first stage of planting at the McMaster Carbon Sink Forest.
As a recent graduate, Alison is excited to apply her knowledge to her work at BurlingtonGreen and be able to learn from a group of passionate leaders.
As stewards of the earth, we have the responsibility to honour and respect the four directions, land, waters, plants, animals, and all of the wonderful elements of creation that exist.We honour all the First Nation, Métis and Inuit people who have been living on the land since time immemorial and we recognize their leadership in protecting and caring for Mother Earth.
In Burlington, our work with the community takes place within the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, represented by Treaty 14 and 19 and on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg (Ah-nish-in-nah-beg), Attawandaron (At-tah-wahn-da-ron), Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-oh-sho-nee) and Metis peoples.We honour these rightful caretakers of this sacred land surrounding the Great Lakes, and we are grateful for their teachings.
BurlingtonGreen has much to learn from Indigenous People and we encourage everyone to continually learn from and about the Indigenous community where you live, and how we can each meaningfully honour the calls to action for Truth and Reconciliation.
