I'm honoured to be mentioned in Park People's national newsletter (May 2026) as an "Inspiring Community Leader" along with Damian Assadi of Everett Crowley Park Committee in Vancouver, BC and Chato Rene Melara from Atelier Solidaire Tlachiuak in Montreal, PQ. The article mentions that "from uplifting Indigenous artists to restoring habitats, they're showing what's possible when local leadership is supported through training, mentorship, and access to resources.
About our Age BIG project called Park Your Stories the article states, "Bringing older adults and high school students together, Nancy transforms city benches into painted gathering spots. Participants write and share short personal stories during outdoor story circles - celebrating memory, creativity, and connetion. Her vision for a true welcoming park? "People of all ages talking, knitting, painting, playing. Trees. Plenty of places to sit. Clean. Safe. Free."
