A Community Effort
Seasonal Guides to Sustainable Living, as well as some other content at CRUSISIS.ca, are a community effort… your community.
You’ll hear from chefs, urban gardeners, natural healers, environmentalists, sustainable business owners, local citizens and other “people that you meet when you’re walkin’ down the street… each day”.
And of course, you’ll hear from us, CRUSISIS Sustainable Living, the creators, editors and developers behind the scenes.
Our Changing Team... with the Seasons
There is an ebb and flow to our team at CRUSISIS Sustainable Living. Some contributors participate repetitively in the creation of multiple guides, like our Environmentalist, Bridget Oland, and our Urban Gardener, Deirdre Evans. Sylvie Bourgeois Higgins (Founding Director & Web Editor), Arina Winkelman (Web Developer), and Andrew Higgins (Senior Advisor), are key mainstays throughout.
Other contributors, as with our Guides, change with the seasons, and are listed below. Most have single but meaningful contributions nonetheless.
Become a Contributor to CRUSISIS Sustainable Living
Please contact us if you would like to ‘contribute’ to CRUSISIS Sustainable Living. The objective for our Guides to Sustainable Living, as with all our initiatives, is to “inform and inspire to action”, to “make a big difference by helping people make small changes every day”. If you think you can assist, we’d love to hear from you.
