She is passionate about building bridges between people and organizations, raising social-ecological awareness, and exploring innovative, sustainable solutions for ecological protection or restoration and community development. In addition to being our Director of Operations, Elaine is also an Adjunct Professor in the School of Life Sciences and the Environment at Algoma University, and Researcher-in-Residence for Waterlution (a national, youth and water focused non-profit organization). A recognized water leader in the Algoma Region, she is an appointee to the City of Sault Ste. Marieâs Canada Water Agency Task Force – a role in which she led a series of community engagement discussions around the potential mandate and location for the Agency. Elaine is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) as of 2014 and is a member of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, having trained with Al Gore (former Vice President of the USA) in 2015. </div><div> </div><div>At the core of Elaineâs project approach is collaboration that results in collective impact, especially in community-based projects. In her experience, collective benefits (e.g., sustainable development) are best achieved by meaningfully working together. She has collaborated with people from a variety of industries and sectors, e.g., construction, engineering, public education, tourism, natural resource management, renewable energy, academia, government, businesses, non-profit organizations, and community members (Canadian and Indigenous). Elaine has delivered dozens of talks and has designed/delivered workshops in settings that range from small community events and corporate meetings to international conferences. She has provided input on various levels of water policy and research. For example, she contributed to policy briefs at the 2018 High-Level Political Forum and has provided input at the request of Canadian Federal Ministers, the Office of the Auditor General of Ontario, and the planning committee for a national roundtable on community-based water monitoring. In addition, she has also been a driving force in the growth and development of several social-economic ventures.  In 2019, Elaineâs work was awarded the Our Water – Our Life – Most Valuable Resource Award by the Canadian Water Resources Association. In January 2022, she was recognized with two Algoma Visionary Awards: Environment & Nature, and Professional of the Year.  </div><div> </div><div>Research Interests: Environmental monitoring indicators, water quality monitoring and management, collaborative approaches (e.g., co-management, co-created solutions, community-based participatory action research), bridging Western and Indigenous ways of knowing, and sustainable development (e.g., Sustainable Development Goals).</div><div><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="http://e-h2o.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://e-h2o.ca&source=gmail&ust=1661534657743000&usg=AOvVaw3h0u7ng57phL4XQBYmwvKw">e-h2o.ca</a></div> </div>

Before joining the Algoma faculty, he was a NOHFC Fellow at Algoma University and served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. In his extensive academic career as an applied microeconomist, he has worked on different research projects in collaboration with the World Bank, International Finance Corporation, International Center for Research on Women, Bangladesh Government, and Center for Agricultural and Rural Development, USA. Dr. Aziz’s research interests include labour migration, public economics, international and regional trade, community development economics and the intersection between these fields. Dr. Aziz has coauthored a number of journal and conference articles on the areas mentioned above and has received several national and international academic awards and funding. His current research projects focus on the links between migration decisions and welfare generosity and understanding the intergenerational effects of welfare programs in communities across Canada. Additionally, he is actively involved in projects exploring how public opinions within Canadian communities influence wage gaps between immigrants and natives. Through this research, Dr. Aziz seeks to address socioeconomic inequalities and advocates for policies promoting fair treatment and opportunities for all, regardless of their background, and the knowledge gained from this research should aid our community in expanding their understanding of how public perceptions affect labour market disparities between indigenous and settler communities. Together with Dr. Jody Rebek, Dr. Aziz is also leading a community-based action research project investigating blue economy and freshwater entrepreneurship opportunities in the Algoma region, along with the region’s social, economic, and cultural skills. With this research, Dr. Aziz and his team aim to provide a foundation for a potential policy-making process to build cohesive strategies and capacities for the city of Sault Ste. Marie.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Research Interests</strong>: Labour Migration, Public economics, International and regional trade, Community economic development.</span></p> </div>

Pinheiro works in photography, print, paint, film, clay, and installation, weaving together elements of documentary and collecting practices with the poetics of embodied experience. Her work is distilled from experience of place, and is intertwined with consideration of the long and complex histories of land, objects, and materials. Referencing historical events, significant sites, or other artworks, the images and materials in Pinheiroâs work become vessels that record her interactions; gestures that oscillate between creative and destructive processes of transformation. Pinheiro has exhibited across Canada and internationally. She has completed numerous national and international residencies. Her work is represented by Cooper Cole Gallery in Toronto and Republic Gallery in Vancouver. She is the Founder of 180 Projects in Sault Ste. Marie, and lives and works along the Goulais River in Searchmont and often Big Basswood Lake.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Research Interests</strong>: Art, land-based art, digital art, photography, film and video, ecological art, uranium/nuclear industry – environmental and cultural impacts, invisibility, memory, perception, human legacy, wild ceramics, foraging and collecting, art in community, art and wellbeing</span></p></div> </div> 1361 </div> 1362 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-309c8bf elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider" data-id="309c8bf" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="divider.default"> 1363 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 1364 <div class="elementor-divider"> 1365 <span class="elementor-divider-separator"> 1366 </span> 1367 </div> 1368 </div> 1369 </div> 1370 </div> 1371 </div> 1372 </div> 1373 </section> 1374 <section class="elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1d1e22a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="1d1e22a" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section"> 1375 <div data-rocket-location-hash="673c332d65f61747eaad1e5a80cde7e6" class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> 1376 <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8010a91" data-id="8010a91" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column"> 1377 <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> 1378 <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-6f50fbe elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="6f50fbe" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> 1379 <div class="elementor-widget-container"> 1380 <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="1280" src="https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-1280x1280.jpg" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-4138" alt="" srcset="https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-1280x1280.jpg 1280w, https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-e1749749184213-640x640.jpg 640w, https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-e1749749184213-300x300.jpg 300w, https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-e1749749184213-768x768.jpg 768w, https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-e1749749184213-400x400.jpg 400w, https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-e1749749184213-600x600.jpg 600w, https://lightslategray-dog-565906.hostingersite.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/IMG_20210111_152634-e1749749184213.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100v
