Communications strategy
Federal-Alberta climate and energy campaign
In 2025, Clean Prosperity became the first organization to publicly propose how Ottawa and Alberta could reach an agreement on climate and energy. I handled the media relations and spokesperson preparation, drafted public messaging, and edited research papers that underpinned it. The campaign generated more than 40 national and regional news stories in six months, and the memorandum of understanding the two governments signed in November reflected key proposals from the organization. Coverage included reporting by The Globe and Mail and CBC News.
Impact reports
I led Clean Prosperity’s annual impact report for two years, from content strategy and writing through editing and art direction. Each report sets out the organization’s research, policy results, and media profile for its donors and partners. Read the 2025 report.
Research launches and op-eds
I ran the communications rollout for two of Clean Prosperity’s major publications in 2026, from editing and message development to media strategy and spokesperson preparation.
