Cassidy (she/her) grew up spending her summers at her family cottage in Nestor Falls. She enjoys backcountry camping, paddling, waterskiing, fishing, and practically any outdoor activity that can be done in the area. Her appreciation for the environment started at a young age and translated into a Bachelor of Environmental Studies at the University of Manitoba.
Her passion and specialized study is Environmental Education, a great fit as our new Environmental Program Coordinator Intern. She has strong work experience in interpretation, outreach, and public relations through working with Manitoba Sustainable Development and IISD-Experimental Lakes Area. She particularly enjoys working with the public on environmental topics and is looking forward to her involvement with the LakeSmart program and working with all our members.
Cassidy has been very involved in the environmental community, perhaps most notably volunteering as the President of The Environment and Geography Students’ Association. She is excited to transfer her experience with project management into LOWDSA’s events, taking on our existing programs as well as exploring new ones.
The value of the area’s beauty and sustainability is close to Cassidy’s heart and will remain a top priority in her work with LOWDSA. You can expect to see her out on the water this summer in her bright yellow kayak! Make sure to give her a wave or spark up a conversation!
