Meet Sofi Rostampour — one of the women helping us deepen our relationship with the land.

For Sofi, stewardship begins with relationship — with the land, water, plants, biodiversity and the places we call home.

As a land steward and agroecology practitioner, Sofi’s work centres on native plants, biodiversity and creating meaningful connections between people and place.

For her, water is life. Protecting water means protecting the relationships and living ecosystems that make life possible.

She believes protecting green spaces means recognizing our responsibility to Mother Earth — not as a collection of resources to extract from, but as living ecosystems we are connected to and responsible for caring for.

Through Women for the Watershed, Sofi hopes to help build meaningful relationships grounded in respect and reciprocity, so that the lands and waters that sustain us can thrive in their own right.

Because when we recognize that we are part of nature, not separate from it, stewardship becomes something we live — not simply something we believe in.

We’re honoured to have Sofi as part of this Circle. Welcome. 💜

Meet Rachael "DJ Donna Lovejoy" — one of the women bringing creativity, energy and connection to Women for the Watershed.

For Rachael, music and community have always been powerful ways to bring people together.

As an entrepreneur, radio host and professional DJ, Rachael creates experiences that connect people through music, creativity and the arts — while using her voice and community presence to support causes she cares deeply about.

For her, conservation is about connection too.

It is about finding ways to help people see the natural world differently, feel connected to the places around them and understand that each of us can play a role in protecting them.

The Credit River Watershed is filled with stories, people and places worth celebrating. From the river and its tributaries to forests, trails, wildlife and communities, it gives us countless reasons to pause, connect and care.

Through Women for the Watershed, Rachael brings her creativity, passion and ability to bring people together to a circle of women who believe that connection can inspire action.

Because sometimes a story, a song, an experience or a shared moment is all it takes to make us see a place differently — and care a little more deeply about protecting it.

Welcome, Rachael. 💜

Meet Whilna Franklin-Stewart — one of the women helping create opportunities for young people to connect with nature and see themselves as part of its future.

For Whilna, community impact is about showing up, building partnerships and creating opportunities for people to make a difference.

As Community Relations Manager for UPS Canada and The UPS Foundation, Whilna brings people and organizations together around initiatives that strengthen communities and create meaningful impact.

Her commitment to the Credit River Watershed has been especially evident through her support of conservation initiatives that engage young people — from planting trees and shrubs to learning about the watershed and discovering the important role each of us can play in protecting our natural environment.

Whilna understands that creating a more sustainable future means giving the next generation opportunities to experience nature, take action and see themselves as part of the solution.

The Credit River Watershed offers countless opportunities to do just that.

Through Women for the Watershed, Whilna brings her leadership, generosity and belief in the power of partnerships to a circle of women who are committed to creating a healthier and more resilient future.

Because today’s young people are tomorrow’s watershed stewards — and giving them a connection to nature can help inspire a lifetime of care.

Welcome, Whilna. 💜

Meet Tess Prendergast Orangeville — one of the women helping turn environmental priorities into action in our communities.

For Tess, conservation is about more than understanding why nature matters. It’s about finding practical ways to protect it — right where we live.

As an Town of Orangeville Councillor, educator, environmental and community advocate, CVCF Board Member and member of Friends of Island Lake, Tess brings a deep commitment to creating healthier, more resilient communities.

Her work has focused on issues including pollinator protection, urban forestry, climate resilience, wetlands and environmental education — the kinds of environmental priorities that have a direct impact on the places we call home.

The Credit River Watershed connects all of these pieces.

Trees help manage heat and stormwater. Wetlands help store water and reduce flooding. Pollinator habitats support biodiversity. Trails and green spaces give people places to connect with nature and with one another.

Tess believes that meaningful environmental action can happen at the community level — through partnerships, education, stewardship and the choices we make together.

Through Women for the Watershed, she brings that practical, community-focused perspective to a circle of women who believe that protecting our watershed is something we can all have a role in.

Because small actions, multiplied across communities, can create lasting change for the places we love.

Welcome, Tess. 💜

The Credit Valley Conservation Foundation is grateful for Canon Canada's generous support of conservation across the Credit River watershed.

Today, we’re excited to welcome a new Canon EOS R8 camera to the team—an in-kind contribution that will help us capture and share the people, places and stories behind conservation.

Alongside Canon Canada’s financial support, this generous contribution strengthens our ability to tell powerful, authentic stories and bring the impact of conservation to life through photography and visual storytelling. Great partnerships help us connect more people to the watershed, inspire action and show why conservation matters.

Thank you, Canon Canada, for investing in conservation and for being such a valued partner to the Credit Valley Conservation Foundation and Credit Valley Conservation. We’re excited to put this camera to work!

Say cheese! 📸
