Transitioning to more plant-based meals isn’t just good for the environment but also for your health.
As the leaves begin to change and we move into a new season, fall reminds us that growth often begins with the work we do behind the scenes. We prepare, tend, and create the conditions for new growth.
At Living Green Barrie, Jon is helping us do exactly that.
Jon joined our volunteer team with a desire to support Living Green by sharing his professional expertise—and he has already made a meaningful difference.
He is helping us look ahead.
Jon is currently working with us to develop a new version of the Living Green Barrie website—one that will have a more professional look, provide a better user experience, and make it easier for visitors to find the information and resources they need. Just as importantly, the improvements will make it easier for our team to keep the website current and share the work Living Green is doing in our community.
What makes Jon such a pleasure to work with is not just his technical expertise, but the way he shares it. Patient, easygoing, and always willing to explain, Jon has a knack for translating technical jargon into language that makes sense. He doesn’t just tell us what needs to be done; he takes the time to help us understand why.
That kind of knowledge-sharing is a valuable form of volunteerism. Jon is helping Living Green build a stronger digital foundation so that we can reach more people, increase engagement, and make it easier for our community to connect with environmental information, resources, programs, and opportunities to take action.
Jon is planting seeds for Living Green Barrie’s future growth, using his time, skills, and expertise to help our organization reach further into the community.
Jon, thank you for bringing your expertise, patience, good humour, and willingness to help to the Living Green Barrie team. We’re grateful for the work you’re doing behind the scenes and excited to see how the seeds you’re planting will help Living Green grow in the seasons ahead.
