Facilities Management is pleased to welcome Lindsay Walker to the newly created position of Manager, Sustainability for both North and Lakeshore campuses.

Lindsay has a Masters of Environmental Applied Science and Management from Ryerson University and Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree from McGill University. She has worked in environmental engineering, market research and recycling and waste management industries for over six and a half years and has developed a passion and knowledge of sustainable business practices, stakeholder collaboration and making practical, positive change in organizations. Her master’s thesis studied what influences decision making in relation to integrating sustainability initiatives into a business. This combined with her work experience has created a strong understanding of how to successfully integrate new initiatives into all levels of an organization.

Most recently, Lindsay guided the Air Canada Centre to increase their landfill diversion rates by over 20 per cent (achieving excellent cost savings) and the Metro Toronto Convention Center to exceed their highest single conference event landfill diversion goal. Lindsay also instructs a technical communication course at Ryerson University, so joining Humber in this role combines her passion and expertise in both environmental sustainability and education.

As Sustainability Manager, Lindsay will be responsible for the coordination and dissemination of all sustainability issues completed or underway at the College in order to manage and promote sustainability on behalf of the entire institution. She will work with students, staff and faculty to decrease Humber’s footprint, and engage the Humber community on sustainability issues.
