“I joined the Masterclass looking for hands-on, sustainability education and gained so much more. I left feeling empowered and ultimately prepared to tackle the diverse environmental challenges we face today. Since the Masterclass, I have applied the skills acquired to tackling countless, diverse sustainability projects through several roles at Green Living Enterprises and now at the David Suzuki Foundation.”
