Laurie Friskie
Laurie Friskie is a retired Student Advisor, avid kayaker and gardener.
"I joined the Nanaimo Climate Action Hub because Canada is not doing enough to tackle the climate crisis. By joining a group of likeminded people, with the common goal of supporting concrete action to fight climate change, I believe we can make a difference." |

Mika is a grade 12 student at Dover Bay who's always passionate about being a part of something bigger than herself. As the 2020 President of DB Eco club, she could constantly be seen volunteering and overseeing club activities around the school and community. In her spare time, she enjoys playing badminton and watching Kdrama. She is looking forward of being an exec for VIU Eco club in 2021.
"In my grade 8 year, I got baited by a Eco club exec through a pizza to volunteer in his club. This quickly snowballed and eventually I became interested in environmental activism through school. I started as a member who does not know anything to stick to the club for five years and becoming a president." |
