There are many inspiring people working to make cities more livable across Canada. Meet Colin Campbell, a project intern in our development department.
When and where: I’ve been volunteering in Evergreen’s downtown Toronto office since November 2009.
What’s your passion? Assisting businesses to efficiently operate with respect for people and the environment is the job for me.
Why volunteer? At Evergreen I am able to learn more about large non-profit organizations and their methods of influencing corporate responsibility and sustainability. I want to make a positive impact on the environment and the communities within it, in the best way I can.
Most memorable moment: Once, before leaving for an important meeting, I grabbed a travel mug to take water with me. One sip and I realized that a coffee-lover had prior use of the mug, and the taste lingered in my water. All I could do was try to take small sips and not cringe in front of a potential sponsor!
What else do you do? I co-direct a youth sports camp during the week, but spend a lot of time training as a triathlete. I will be participating in four competitions this season. I love the outdoors, being active, and riding my bike whenever I can!
