Colette joined Hello Cool World team back in 2003 and was a key organizer for The Corporation and The Take's grassroots outreach efforts across North America.
After being inspired by the organizing and awareness building potential of the internet and social issue films, she returned to school to study Communications and sharpen her skills.
Once graduating, Colette returned to Hello Cool World once again as a grassroots campaign consultant. She is now the Director of Distribution for Hello Cool World's new fair trade distribution arm.
On a chilly Saturday afternoon at the Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library hundreds of people congregated to celebrate and discuss the current state of media. Workshops, including the opening keynote by Tony Burman of Al Jazeera English, were filled and people turned away.
The Media Fair was abuzz and full of energy, attended by people who create change and are media-makers themselves – journalists, photographers, bloggers and social media junkies.
Hailing from the mountain town of Salt Lake City, Utah, Lizzy enjoys picnics, reading on a lazy Sunday morning and adventurous bike rides. After learning about books at the University of Toronto she now calls Vancouver home. She joined Hello Cool World as a member of the LACE campaign action team, and luckily for us, decided to stick around.
Media Democracy Day - a day of action, activism, dialogue and connection, is happening this Saturday, November 6 in Vancouver and we are thrilled to be a part!
