Under Shannon’s leadership, Clean Foundation’s educational programming in Nova Scotia has been unified into a cohesive program that engages youth from Primary school all the way through to University, including placing over 180 students into environmental internships over the last two years. “Teaching the teacher”, she’s shared the program with over 170 colleagues from across Canada.
