PROFESSIONAL
Internship Program
The ClimateSense Professional Internship Program is designed to build adaptation capacity in recent post-secondary students, as well as host organizations within the public and private sectors.
A number of Island organizations were selected to host a recent post-secondary graduate for a six (6) to twelve (12) month internship for 2021. During this time, our interns worked with mentors within the host organization to complete a sector-specific adaptation project, and also took part in ClimateSense Training and Development Programs.

We are pleased to present our 2021 Internship Projects.
City of Charlottetown & Municipality of Victoria
Climate Sense Intern Quinn Howard partnered with both the City of Charlottetown and Rural Municipality of Victoria on a diverse set of landscape-based climate interventions. Work within the City of Charlottetown involved work in two main projects: The Resilient Homes-Parks People Project and the Community Climate Action Living Shoreline Project.
Quinn worked with the Rural Municipality of Victoria to complete a climate adaptation planning process, assessing climate risk to the ecosystems, municipal assets, and livelihoods to determine areas of high vulnerability and vision corresponding opportunities.
