Biography
submitted by the candidate or their team
20 years in the B2B electronic waste business
For the last few years, I've been a full time content creator focusing on the outdoors and my community. Before that, I was in the ewaste business for 20+ years keeping valuable electronics out of landfills and helping companies all across Canada recycle their products in responsibly.
Before that, I worked for several Canadian publications such as NOW Magazine, The Toronto Star and The Toronto Sun. I've published articles in travel and automotive magazines all through the world. My most recent role was with The Worlds Seoul in S. Korea where I wrote for a English travel magazine that was the in-flight publication for Korean Air.
Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
High school kids can't find jobs. I'd like to fix that.
The past few years, the government has been handing out LMIA (labour market impact assessment) to fast food restaurants. There is ZERO reason why a low wage business needs to bring in TFW when our cities are full of unemployed young people. I'm running to fix that.
