Zabrina Babbington

Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre

Nominator Comments:

Zabrina illustrated great innovation and creativity when acting as Project Coordinator for the Green Change Project, which led to phenomenal success for her agency, Jane/Finch Community and Family Centre. She was instrumental in the success of this project, which was originally planned to be delivered over two years’ time, but due to funding only had a one-year window to be realized. Without any steps to follow, Zabrina’s dedication and creative thinking, not only led her to adjust the work plan and seek out additional partnerships to fill any gaps in resources, but challenged the assumptions that people living in poverty do not care about the environment.
