JOHN VAN HEZEWYK
Beginning my second week at the Town of Markham Office of Sustainability, I have already been involved with a broad range of projects and activities.
Saturday I worked with the Outreach folks at the Markham Village Music Festival, spreading awareness about the Town’s Greenprint sustainability plan. Our current focus on food security was front and center, as we discussed local food options and the importance of maintaining the Town’s green spaces for both biodiversity and agriculture. This morning I participated in a committee meeting on road ecology, joined by the Ontario Road Ecology Group and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as well as various municipal departments.
