Farewell Jennifer Sutherst

 Caitlin Piezchalski and

Jennifer Sutherst by Kylie Knox

Jennifer Sutherst, who had been a key leader at Project Watershed since 2011, recently moved into a new position with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

Jennifer was intimately involved in all aspects of project management in her position as Senior Staff Biologist at Project Watershed. She was instrumental in the success of our projects, most notably Kus-kus-sum, over the past 11 years.  She was a pleasure to work with and always willing to do what she could to make the world a better place. We’re so grateful for the many contributions Jennifer has made to Project Watershed over the years. We wouldn’t be where we are today without her kindness, wisdom, expertise and dedication to excellence.

While everyone at Project Watershed was sad to see her leave, we know that she will continue to be an environmental leader in this community. We congratulate her on her new role as Community Involvement and Resource Restoration Section Head for Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s South Coast Area. A huge thank you to Jennifer for all her hard work and best wishes to her on her next adventure!

The projects Jennifer was managing will continue under the leadership of the rest of our Project Watershed team of staff, contractors and directors.
