Water Conservation Ambassador at City of Vancouver in Vancouver, BC

Lauren conducting a water meter check.

For my third work term I have the privilege to work with the City of Vancouver as a Water Conservation Ambassador. As an ambassador my job is to educate and ensure residents of Vancouver are complying with regulations for overall water conservation. This includes setting up appointments with residents to check their automatic irrigation timers, water meter checks, and brainstorming ways to engage with the public about water conservation initiatives. This position has been an amazing opportunity to expand my knowledge about the municipal system as well as learn how to create meaningful connections with Vancouverites, in hopes to teach about water conservation methods.
