Through his in-community presence and partnerships with local organizations, he ensures support is provided where it will have the greatest impact for both households and communities. Michael-Anthony has been exploring approaches to “justice” through several academic and entrepreneurial pursuits. From graduating with a degree in criminology from Carleton University and working as a forensic psychology researcher in Ottawa, to climate and food justice as an organic vegetable farm owner-operator on Vancouver Island, he now brings extensive building science and project management experience to his work in energy and housing affordability.
