It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Alexandra (Alix) Link to the position of Director – Humber Arboretum.

Alix comes to us from the West Coast, where she developed a passion for the environment and sustainable land use management. She brings a broad range of experiences to her new role. She has been a field biologist studying the ecological effects of logging as well as an owner/operator of an organic landscaping company in Victoria. She has significant provincial government experience from her work as a policy advisor to two ministries in the provincial government: Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and Ministry of Agriculture and Lands

Alix holds a Master’s degree in Environment and Management from Royal Roads University, Victoria, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology (minor in Environmental Studies) from the University of Victoria.

Alix is passionate about public gardens and sustainability, and we look forward to her vision and stewardship of the Humber Arboretum and Centre for Urban Ecology
