  • Prepare reports, briefing materials, presentations, correspondence, and other communication materials for a variety of audiences.
  • Represent the Neighbourhood Development Office and LoveMyHood at community meetings, public events, workshops, conferences, and stakeholder engagements.
  • Present complex information to diverse audiences and adapt communication approaches to meet the needs of residents, community groups, staff, and decision-makers.
