Sign Language Interpreter, Community Song Leader, bird lover, knitter, sewist, crafter, fermentation alchemist, gardener, forager, sourdough baker….

Heather is a lifelong learner dedicated to weaving connection and care into the fabric of her community.

Food access projects like Community Fruit Harvesting and the Rosedale Community Fridge & Pantry serve neighbours in need of food access, fresh fruit, and a helping hand with their backyard fruit trees.

An experienced teacher and facilitator, Heather leads immersive workshops and courses for those who prefer a hands-on learning experience. Here are just a few examples:

  • Start Gardening with Seed Snails
  • The Magic of Fermentation
  • Breaking Bread: From Zero to Sourdough Hero
  • Upcycling: Sew a Zippered Pouch
  • Eat Your Weeds (intro to Foraging)

As a song carrier and leader trained in the oral tradition, Heather creates spaces for people to experience joy, comfort, wellbeing, and a sense of belonging through the power of singing together.  

Heather brings honesty, warmth, and a deep respect for both people and the land — inviting others to join her in this important work.
