At thinc design, I lead parks and recreation master plan projects for Canadian communities of all sizes.I am a settler on the Treaty 13 Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit as well as the traditional territory of the Wendat and Haudenosaunee peoples. Today, Tkaronto is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples from across Turtle Island.
