Gillian Seitz

I am interested in the creation of just, sustainable and resilient communities. In particular, I am passionate about the potential of green spaces and green infrastructure for mitigating the effects of climate change, promoting mental and physical health, and enabling community engagement.

I completed my undergraduate degree at McGill University's School of Environment. As a student, I was involved in research pertaining to the urban heat island effect and heat events on the island of Montreal. I was also a part of the Montreal Urban Sustainability Experience, a field study program focusing on urban sustainability. Professionally, I have experience working in the environmental field in both the private and public sectors.
