Jessica Winton

Howdy,

My name, as one might guess, is Jessica Winton.
While living in Westmount and around Montreal, I’ve spent my time growing to be the person I am today.

I think politics have become dominated by people who don’t act quickly enough to the changes in our world as their backgrounds require a lot of catch up to understand the available tools for our cities to shine as the jewels of Canada they truly are.

Our society is built from collectives that aim to improve life for everyone, something I continue to do everyday through my involvement with multiple organizations.

Worried about garbage? Seems like you'll have to sepcifiy between the mayor's conduct or landfill collection nowadays! 😵‍💫

An architect city councillor resigning from the planning committee, a failed vote from the mayor, and a pattern of certain members of council rejecting residents' concerns.

If you are capable of voting today, you need to vote 🗳️ Otherwise you are forfeiting your right to complain about who is elected‼️

Take a look at what I’ve been up to on Instagram!

My work has focused on advocating for environmental justice, community engagement and empowering others to live the lives they want to live.

This includes my current work of obtaining my Master’s of Environmental Sustainability at the University of Ottawa, supervised by the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. My research paper will focus on the impacts of single-stream recycling policy on Municipal Solid Waste.

(The impacts of having one recycling bin for everything)

A graduate of Concordia University and Dawson College, I hold a Bachelor’s in Urban Planning and a DEC in Interactive Media Arts.

If you ever see me walking around, taking the bus, or even riding a Bixi, don’t be afraid to say hi! Despite my height, I don’t bite!
