Speaker Bio – Brittany is the Education & Outreach Manager for the East Kootenay Invasive Species Council (EKISC). Originally from Barrie, Ontario, Brittany grew up surrounded by forests, lakes, and snowy winters—fueling a lifelong connection to the outdoors. She spent years dreaming of one day trading flatland forests for mountain peaks and has now made that dream a reality by relocating to the East-Kootenays—drawn by the breathtaking landscapes, welcoming communities, and endless opportunities for exploration and learning.

Now, she is here with us! Her approach blends experiential education with a deep respect for place-based knowledge, aiming to inspire stewardship through engaging outreach programs for everyone!
