“The depth of her lived, and professional experience and breadth of leadership skill give the board great confidence in her ability to navigate complex issues and develop inclusive, innovative solutions for addressing the environmental crises Canada — and the world — face today.”
As the new executive director, London said she is committed to fighting for every person’s right to a healthy environment, holding leaders accountable, and mitigating the worst impacts of the environmental crisis.
“Together, we will leverage the Ecojustice trust and use the power of the law to secure a more livable, more just, and more equitable future for us all,” London said.
London holds a Doctor of Law and Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Arts in child and youth care from the University of Victoria.
