Leslie-Ann Robertson

About Leslie-Ann: "I have a degree in environmental science and have been active in the environmental community of Ottawa for over ten years. My work experience consists of a variety of local and national non-governmental organizations; I am currently working for the federal government on renewable energy issues. I am inspired by the beauty of nature and am passionate about protection of the environment. In my spare time I spend as much time in a canoe and tent as possible"

Why LA volunteers for Tucker House: "I have been a Board Member of Seventh Generation Community Projects, a local non-profit environmental education organization, since 2001. I joined Tucker House as a Board Member following the merger of Tucker House and Seventh Generation Community Projects in 2007. I believe that Tucker House provides a valuable service to the community by 'walking the talk' through its programs and activities, and am pleased to be able to work with great people who also believe in this philosophy. I am currently Chair of the Seventh Generation Community Projects working group of Tucker House."
