She has witnessed firsthand the great benefits that the Communities in Bloom program has brought to her community. “People, Plants, and Pride” totally sums up the great transition in Indian Head! Megan Jones Megan is a Community & Parks Planner with more than 18 years of experience. Her first seven years of planning focused on parks, open spaces, recreation and culture planning throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan. After pursuing a Masters degree in Urban & Regional Planning, her skills expanded to larger regional planning and land use planning. This has provided Megan with an ability to work with team members on all scales of higher-level planning to a finer level of detail and implementation. She also believes that a critical component in any planning process is meaningful engagement of administration, decision-makers, stakeholders, neighbours, and community members to ensure ownership over the principles and provide locally relevant context. Her focus has been on communities that include elements of design and planning that are high-quality, connected, functional, inclusive, and conscious of our climate. Kathleen Reinheimer and Wendy Wiederick Kathleen Reinheimer started her career as a gardener and has been in her role as Coquitlam’s Park Manager for the last 16 years.
