Meet Sarah Primeau
“Joining the Stewardship Centre of BC as Executive Director is such an honour. I’m excited to work with the dedicated Board and team, fostering healthy ecosystems and resilient communities through the SCBC’s innovative and collaborative programs.”
– Sarah Primeau, Incoming SCBC Executive Director.
With over 18 years of experience as a landscape architect, ecologist, and in various roles within the non-profit environmental stewardship sector, Sarah possesses a unique ability to connect the dots across disciplines, finding creative solutions to complex ecological challenges. Her master’s degrees in Ecology (University of Waterloo) and Landscape Architecture (University of British Columbia) also enable her to translate ecological knowledge into action. Her collaborative approach has been demonstrated in recent large-scale work on xwǝyeyǝt / Iona Island and along the Nicomekl River in Surrey, where she designed a variety of solutions that integrated ecological restoration, adaptation to climate change, and opportunities for environmental stewardship.
Sarah has expertise in nature-based coastal solutions, ecologically-sensitive neighborhood planning, green rainwater infrastructure, flood-adaptive design, and watershed stewardship. She has completed Green Shores Level 1 and 2 training and has considerable technical experience in applying Green Shores principles to a variety of shoreline projects.
We are incredibly excited to see where this new leadership will take us and invite all our supporters to join us in welcoming Sarah to the Stewardship Centre for BC family. With her guidance, we are confident that we will continue to advance our mission of protecting the environment for future generations.
