Tracey Saxby

Marine Scientist. Activist. Visionary change-maker.

Executive Director, Co-Founder

In 2007, Tracey kickstarted the grassroots movement to reduce single-use plastics when she proposed that Rossland should be the first plastic-bag free community in Canada. The initiative garnered national media attention, as well as a few awards.

Fast-forward seven years, and Tracey has picked up a megaphone to inspire thousands of people to defend, protect, and restore Howe Sound.

She is currently developing a new campaign called the #ZeroCarbonChallenge, which is a ten-year plan to catalyze climate action in Canada.

Tracey holds a masters equivalent in marine science and is a partner at Visual Science with over twenty years of experience working at the nexus of science, design, and communication.

Her passions include skiing, kiteboarding, rockclimbing, singing, gardening, and playing D&D.
