Danielle Johnston

She/Her

WTC Partner

Danielle is being recognized as a Transformer for her support of the organization during her work as the City of Vancouver’s Democratic Engagement Manager. During Danielle’s tenure here, she supported WTC on several projects, including:

1. Workshops funded by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities providing civic engagement and local government 101 training to a public audience

2. Coordinating a tour and field trip to observe a council meeting at City Hall

3. Supporting our Watch Council advocacy by providing insights on city processes

4. Providing critical feedback to our civic resources during our drafting process

Throughout our collaborations with Danielle, she's always prioritized ways to help others overcome barriers to civic engagement with her help and support. It was deeply encouraging to have a staff member support our community members to ensure their voices were heard.
