Tracy Marshall is from Potlotek First Nation. She is an active member of CEPI Youth, and currently the Youth Coordinator for CEPI. She sits on the Bras d’Or Lakes Biosphere Reserve Association Board of Directors as the youth representative. As a child, she started to learn about melting “ice caps” and was concerned for polar bears, and ever since haven’t stopped being an activist for the environment. Not knowing where to start, she just stopped littering and encouraging friends and family not to as well. The rest was a ripple effect from that moment on.
Tracy was a co-organizer of the CLP 2019 Youth Retreat, a Thinker in the May-June 2020 retreat and a trusted advisor. She is working with CLP to collate written transcripts of Elder Albert Marshall’s teachings. Tracy is in the Bachelor of Arts and Science in Environment program at Cape Breton University.
