Megan Terriss demonstrates her commitment to civic and social responsibilities by acting on a need she recognized in the community.
In October 2022, Megan started a fundraiser called the 5050 Project to purchase high-quality winter sleeping bags for unhoused Torontonians. The project received an overwhelming response from the Toronto Community and was covered by Global News, BlogTO, CBC’s The National, and Zoomer Radio. Megan also spearheads educational programming as a Best Practice Guideline (BPG) Lead with Nipissing University’s School of Nursing.
Megan plans to become an Emergency Nurse and to continue engaging in advocacy and outreach work.
