I recently had the privilege of participating in the INNOVATION LAB 2024: EXPLORING INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO GLOBAL WATER & CLIMATE CHALLENGES organized by the Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC). This event, held at the University of Waterloo in collaboration with partners, provided a platform for individuals and organizations interested in addressing water and climate issues to come together. Throughout the full-day program, attendees from Kitchener-Waterloo, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Guelph, and Hamilton engaged in discussions, workshops, and activities aimed at deepening our understanding of these pressing environmental challenges. Being part of this event allowed me to contribute to meaningful conversations and gain valuable insights from fellow participants, ultimately enhancing my awareness and commitment to addressing water and climate issues in both local and global contexts.

During the Adventures of Salmon event, I had the opportunity to volunteer with TRCA, where my role involved overseeing the salmon coloring and button-making station. It was a bustling day filled with enthusiastic children eager to create their own uniquely colored salmon buttons. To add an extra element of fun, I entertained the kids by turning the button-making process into a lively and interactive “magic show.” Watching their faces light up with excitement as they crafted their personalized buttons was truly rewarding, and I enjoyed being a part of their memorable experience during the event.
