Reflecting on my journey with the Kingston Community Credit Union (KCCU), I see that it's rooted in a blend of personal values and community ethos. In 2011, I returned to Kingston, eager to find work in my field of study: sustainability, climate action, and social justice. Like many, I grew up familiar with traditional banking, but the concept of credit unions was a revelation to me.

Picture this: a group of eager students at Calvin Park Public School, poised to become trailblazers in Kingston's sustainability movement. With No.9 as their guiding light, they dove headfirst into the world of eco-consciousness, infusing their learning with creativity and passion.

In the modern world, waste management has become a growing concern. We produce tons of waste every day, and the majority of it ends up in landfills.

The Farm Fresh Fundraiser program is a unique opportunity for schools, sports teams, and other community organizations to raise funds while supporting a local organic vegetable farm and a non-profit organization that promotes community building around food.

I helped lead the charge a decade ago and developed a simple but powerful model to transform public transportation. In my role with the Limestone District School Board, alongside the City of Kingston (Kingston Transit), we created the Kingston Transit High School Bus Pass Program, now deemed the “Kingston Model” for youth transit programming.
