WORK HISTORY
Climate Action Coordinator @Loyalist Township
Odessa, ON, CA
I help bring the Loyalist Township Climate Action Plan to life, building community-based programs that turn sustainability goals into action across rural and urban contexts.As Climate Action Coordinator, I support the implementation of ResiLienT Loyalist Township, the community’s Climate Action Plan by designing and delivering initiatives that reduce emissions and build climate resilience. I’ve led the development of community engagement strategies, managed township-wide communications and reporting (including newsletters, climate report cards, and online engagement tools), and created hands-on projects that engage residents directly. This includes two successful FoodCycler pilot programs, a Community Tree Initiative that distributed subsidized trees, and multiple community collection drives for e-waste, textiles, batteries, and food. I also facilitated youth engagement workshops like Imagining My Sustainable Community in Babcock Mills Park, where students helped design a reading garden that municipal staff then built—a tangible example of youth-led climate action.Key highlights: Helped design and execute the ResiLienT Loyalist Township Climate Action Plan Led two FoodCycler pilots, using data-driven reports to support future expansion Created the Community Tree Initiative, securing grants and distributing trees at low cost Organized e-waste, textile, food, and battery drives, connecting climate action to daily life Facilitated the Imaginging My Sustainable Community youth engagement workshop that directly inspired a new reading garden

ABOUT DAN HENDRY
I’m a community builder, changemaker, and advocate for sustainable, inclusive systems, especially when it comes to how we move, learn, and live together.For the past 15 years, I’ve worked across public education, municipal government, and the nonprofit sector to co-create innovative solutions that empower youth, promote sustainability, and foster community resilience. I’m probably best known as “the bus guy” behind Kingston\'s High School Transit Pass Program, a now internationally recognized model that’s inspired over 20 communities across Canada to reimagine youth mobility. What started as a local pilot has grown into the Get on the Bus movement, a national call for investment in youth transit opportunities.Beyond transit, I’ve had the privilege of leading and advising on multi-partner projects in climate planning, sustainability strategy, and innovation capacity building, whether that’s supporting the Limestone District School Board, guiding climate action planning in Loyalist Township, or co-developing the Innovation Hub at St. Lawrence College and leading Enactus SLC to empower students as changemakers.My work often blurs the lines between professional and personal, as I believe in being present where I live. That’s meant mentoring young leaders, guest lecturing at Queen’s University, volunteering with YourTV, or offering pro bono support to causes that matter.At heart, I believe that sustainable systems require shared leadership and that real change happens when we bring diverse partners to the table and create space for ideas to grow.Let’s connect if you\'re interested in youth engagement, community innovation, sustainable transportation, or just getting good ideas off the ground.
