Keen supporter of the environment and community, real estate professional, entrepreneur….

Margaret started her environmental effort in 1998 as a member of Toronto’s Waste Watchers, later called the Toronto Environmental Volunteers (TEV) and now known as the Live Green Toronto Volunteers.

Today, her environmental commitment continues in her work as an author and illustrator, with the 2007 release of her environmental picture book, What Ever Happened to APPLE?, about the journey of an apple to help children understand some aspects of nature and the positive effects of composting. Since then, she’s visited schools, bookstores and public libraries in her efforts to share her story and her passion for the environment.

An active participant in her community, Margaret was the Chairperson of the Ajax Environmental Affairs Week in 2003 and 2004, a week long event of environmental activities that were successful in tapping and highlighting the benefits of working with other stakeholders in the community as well as in the region to get the sustainability and environmental message to the public.
