Message from Brian Hughes, Interim Director, Facilities Management Services:
I would like to introduce a new addition to the FMS – Office of Sustainability team. On June 13, Katie Bristow began her role as Sustainability Program and Outreach Coordinator, working closely with Taryn Wilkinson, Manager of Sustainability.
Katie Bristow began her role as Sustainability Program and Outreach Coordinator on June 13.
Katie is a two-time graduate of Niagara College with an Environmental Field and Lab Technician diploma and Environmental Management and Assessment postgraduate certificate. She also has a BSc. in Biology from the University of Guelph. Katie’s previous experience includes working at Carbonzero, where she supported the completion of greenhouse gas inventories, helped clients develop effective strategies for collecting inventory data, and supported the development of Carbonzero’s client reports. She was most recently at the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority as a Restoration Technician working with landowners and community members in restoration of recently created wetlands.
In her spare time, Katie enjoys volunteering for various environmental organizations such as Birds Canada, Niagara Coastal Community Collaborative and Trout Unlimited. She also serves on the Streetscape and Sustainability Committee for the St. Catharines Downtown Association and the Sustainability Reporting Group for the Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games.
In her new role, Katie will support NC’s commitment to fostering a culture of sustainability through the research, development, coordination and implementation of new and existing sustainability projects on campus and in the community.
Once renovations are complete, Katie will be located in the Office of Sustainability at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake (E104). Please join me in welcoming Katie to the NC community.
