Who We Are

Theresa Sauren has been around since the dawn of RTJ and is now our Executive Director Extraordinaire. She's an expert in creating valuable and lasting relationships in every community RTJ moves to, and therefore was essential in shifting this project into motion. She loves working with kids on environmental issues (after all, she has two of her own!) so she's excited to watch these students grow up to be true environmental leaders.

Sara Wicks is a veteran of RTJ and the project list keeps growing. She ran the show for the [successful!] Waterloo community outreach project this summer and is taking a break from her degree in International Development in the Biophysical Environment at the University of Guelph to help reduce some juice in WCI. She's excited to continue to work with some returning RTJ summer students and offer up all of her knowledge on transportation and climate change issues to make the anti-idling fall project as successful as the summer one!

Jessica Henderson is part of the geography department at WCI and more importantly, the teacher in charge of the Sustainable Living Class. She will serve as a facilitator to the anti-idling campaign by motivating these students to get those drivers to turn off their engines! When she's not running around in the school, she's running around on the field as a women's field hockey coach.

There are many other people involved with this project including the teachers from Keatsway PS, Laurelwood PS and Centennial PS. As well as other teachers in the geography dept at WCI and of course the students in the Sustainable Living Class.
