For 2024, we are pleased to award our scholarship to Mackenzie Burnett, a Masters in Environment and Sustainability student at the University of Saskatchewan.
Congratulations to Mackenzie Burnett
Mackenzie is going into her last year of her Masters in Environment and Sustainability, where her research into defining and characterizing what eco-restoration means to Indigenous and industry partners while examining their views on the effectiveness of collaborative eco-restoration will lead to developing recommendations for future eco-restoration projects. These recommendations will help bridge an identified gap in collaborative eco-restoration and environmental decision making for both Indigenous and industry partners.
Mackenzie completed her Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at McGill University. She has also authored two research publications, is a cofounder of Saskatoon Climate Hub and a core organizer of Climate Justice Saskatoon. Mackenzie plans to utilize her Masters towards further environmental science & support for climate justice groups and publishing a book one day.
