Email: lena@edmonton2s.
Lena Green hails from Edmonton, situated on the ancestral lands of Treaty 6, where her family heritage is woven through a tapestry of names such as Huppie, Desjarlais, Oakanese, Batoche, Cardinal, and Tremblay. Though adopted into her stepfather's family as a child, she proudly bears the name Green today.
As the Chief Financial Officer and Capacity Building Manager, Lena plays a pivotal role in a multifaceted mission. Her work encompasses a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) initiative, which involves establishing three crucial councils: an Elders Council, a Youth Council, and a Matriarch Council. Lena collaborates closely with Indigenous organizations to combat GBV in their community.
Lena's roots trace back to a lineage of labor activism, a legacy she continues to uphold. Her dedication to labor and human rights has led her to spearhead the formation of a Human Rights Committee for District 3, encompassing all provinces west of Manitoba and the Northwest Territories. As a 2S (Two-Spirit) person, Lena champions the importance of elevating 2S voices, ensuring they are not only heard but seated at the table. Her core values of respect and honesty are unwavering principles she carries into every facet of her life and her time at E2S.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Lena thrives in the embrace of nature. She revels in the serenity of camping and the artistry of fly fishing, passions that come alive during her beloved summer season. Her heart finds its truest contentment in the company of her cherished wife, Christine Braakman.
