Meg Banavage

Meg has been migrating east to west, and is now sinking her roots into the soils of Vancouver Island. Years of summer camp, Ontario autumns, and travelling at a young age gave her the love for the woods, and her global-minded spunk led her through a BA in International Development and Environmental Studies in Halifax. Between textbooks and tomfoolery she was hired to help develop Dalhousie University's new program: Environment, Sustainability and Society.

Meg continued to work with outdoor summer camps across the country, and eventually left the Atlantic ocean for the Okanagan mountains. There she worked as a project leader for a national youth volunteer service program, Katimavik, teaching youth the values of environmental stewardship, healthy and seasonal eating, and the characteristics of a high-class snowfort. She then did some time in the East Kootenays as an adventure camp leader before working as an environmental intern (and being a surf bum) on an artistic ecovillage in Hawai'i.

Meg joined Sierra Club BC in 2010 as an Environmental Educator and is now the School Programs Coordinator. All while working towards her Masters in Environmental Education and Communication! She loves arts and crafts, standing on the tops of mountains, being in water, snow, playing music, writing and warm slippers. She also makes a mean curry.
