Ledah McKellar is Lakehead University's inaugural Sustainability Coordinator. Having acquired her BA in African Studies from McGill, Ledah went on to earn both her B.Ed and M.Ed from Lakehead. During her term as a graduate assistant, Ledah completed Lakehead's first university-wide public sustainability assessment. Embracing an approach to sustainability that is informed by multiple worldviews, Ledah's goal is to support a culture of sustainability at the University. Ledah's worked on a number of grant-funded projects with faculty members and community organizations like EcoSuperior. An avid outdoorswoman, Ledah spends her spare time canoeing the myriad lakes and rivers of northwestern Ontario.

Building a sustainable university means engaging in a culture shift--where all levels of the University including senior administration, faculty, staff, as well as students, work collaboratively together to find innovative solutions to one of the greatest challenges of our times.
In 2019, Lakehead University launched its inaugural Sustainability Plan. The Plan is comprehensive, covering the sustainability of the institution’s academics, operations, engagement, and planning and administration. While implementation of the plan will be a collective effort across the University, the Office of Sustainability will oversee its fulfilment.
The plan was a collective effort, developed by the Office of Sustainability, in collaboration with numerous faculty, staff, students, and community members who sit on the University’s Sustainability Stewardship Council and its Working Groups.
See the 2019-2024 Sustainability Plan for more information on how Lakehead University is committed to sustainability.
