Heidi Levitzky uses compassion, optimism and her strong environmental background to mentor and educate future environmental managers. 

Originally from Mississauga, she has been a resident of Niagara since 2008. She moved to pursue post-graduate studies in Environmental Management and Assessment at Niagara College. 

Heidi is now a Public Relations Coordinator for the Hamilton Industrial Environmental Association, as well as an Instructor at Niagara College.

Throughout her career she has established and led many partnership initiatives that have had an immense impact on the environment and the Niagara community. Since 2012, she has arranged for thousands of trees and over a thousand native plants to be planted on both industrial property and throughout the community. She has engaged hundreds of Niagara College students in environmental educational internships and volunteer opportunities, and exposed hundreds of grade 8 and 9 students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. She has also led Women in STEM seminars regarding biodiversity in the Niagara Region. 

Heidi believes it’s all about working together and with others in the community to invest in the stewardship of our shared environment.
