Steve's Bio

Steve has worked for Inside Education for most of his professional life, after spending his earlier years as a classroom teacher. Steve’s career has seen lots of ’firsts’ - first Inside Education Educator hired, opened our first Calgary office in 1997, and Steve led our first student outdoor education field trip. He was appointed Executive Director in 2006, the first ED after our Founder, Jim Martin.

Steve is proud and humbled to have been awarded two prestigious awards in 2022: The Alberta Emerald Lifetime Achievement Award and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal.

Steve’s other full-time job is wrangling and basically waiting hand-and-foot on two giant dogs.

• Director - Alberta Capital Airshed

She has provided leadership, great ideas, and new direction to the team! When Chloe isn’t surfing the interwebs, you can find her hanging with her husband, Dan, 3-year-old son, Jack, and pup, Walter.

Dan's Bio

Dan (he/him) is a born-and-raised Calgarian who has spent the majority of his professional career eating his way through the Canadian food and beverage scene. Although he was initially in search of great-tasting food, what he found instead was a passion for both the environment and his local community. When Dan isn’t working, you can likely find him shooting hoops on a neighbourhood basketball court, riding his bike through Calgary’s vast pathway network, or exploring the wonder of the Canadian Rockies. 

Ilana's Bio

Armed with a degree in Environmental and Conservation Sciences from the University of Alberta, Ilana (she/her) is passionate about all things nature and sustainability. From the vast grasslands, to the mucky bogs, Ilana has navigated all of Alberta’s ecosystems. She loves talking energy, and is eager to share her knowledge and experience in the fields of Land Reclamation and Oil and Gas with students and teachers. In her free time, Ilana can be found reading, hiking, or practicing her photography skills.
