Mila was raised in Calgary and studied Environment & Sustainability Geography at UBC Vancouver. She nerds out when talking about Alberta’s wildlife, ecosystems and energy landscape, and her happy place is on a ridge in the backcountry with a good pair of binoculars. As Lead of the Inside Education’s Energy & Climate Team, Mila especially loves to teach, learn and share her enthusiasm for energy and climate topics, and is so happy to work alongside such a knowledgeable, positive and inspirational group of Educators!

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. 

Terri's Bio

Terri grew up close to the Rocky Mountains and has done extensive hiking and biking through the many trails it has to offer. She loved being out in nature so much that she went to school for Outdoor Education and Adventure Tourism so she could get paid to play outside everyday. She even studied in Norway for a period of time, learning about Friluftslive which translates “open air living” or the love of outdoor living. When she is not outside seeking out adventures you can find her in her garden, trying out new hydroponic techniques, or practicing American Sign Language.

• Diploma - Adventure Tourism Outdoor Recreation
• Certificate - Level 3 ASL
