Our Team
"We welcome Simon Knight back to Climate Change Central to lead the organization at a time when climate change registers as a top-of-mind concern to Albertans," said Mr.Fischer. He commended board member Patricia McCunn-Miller for the focus and energy she brought Climate Change Central as Interim President and CEO over the past eight months. As one of the original designers of Climate Change Central, Simon Knight has played an important role in the organization's development and success, particularly in the area of energy efficiency. He helped design the organization's successful consumer programs which evolved to the current $36 million consumer energy efficiency rebate programs C3 delivers for the Government of Alberta. Mr. Knight's interest in sustainable building design has kept him active in the residential and commercial building sector for many years, serving as president of the Alberta Chapter of the Canada Green Building Council and the Net Zero Energy Home Coalition, and on the board of the Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance. Prior to joining C3, Mr. Knight worked in the environmental field within the Alberta government for 20 years. At Alberta Environment, he worked on issues such as biodiversity, in-stream flow needs, information management and Environmental Impact Assessments. He has a Bachelor of Biological Sciences from the University of Guelph. |
