National Advisory

We have established a National Advisory Panel for the Bird Friendly City program to provide Nature Canada with advice and guidance to assure program excellence, rigour and innovation. Our panel members have expertise in a wide range of topics related to birds, including key human-related threats to birds, urban ecology, engagement, outreach and education, and municipal governance. Panel members represent a wide geographical coverage. We will be adding new panel members to have as broad a diversity of perspectives as we can.

Current panel members include:

• Jody Allair (Birds Canada)
• Michael Mesure (FLAP Canada)
• Guyleine Rios-Robles (QuébecOiseaux)
• Annie Mckenzie (Federation of Canadian Municipalities, FCM)
• Anne-Charlotte Olivier (Federation of Canadian Municipalities, FCM)
• Rachel Buxton (Carleton University)
• Julia Kilgour (University of Guelph)
• Timothy Beatley (University of Virginia)
• Julie Bourque (Canadian Wildlife Service, CWS)
• Ted Cheskey (Chair, Nature Canada)
• Lara Falkiner (Nature Canada)
