She has also earned a B.Ed from the University of Regina in 1995 with a major in Biology, and minors in Social Studies and English Literature. She taught for 37 years at Sask Polytechnic (formerly SIAST) in academic programs, and at the University of Regina in Language Arts.

Ingrid has been involved in many environmental groups over 50 years, mostly as a leader and public educator. Her work included all of the media and publicity work for Nature Regina, including their Facebook page, and is still involved with them today. She became a member of the Wascana Solar Co-op on October 14th, 2022, and had nominated herself for election to the board on May 29th, 2024.
Stephen Trott stepping back from secretarial duties
We are also sad to announce that a long-time member of our team, Stephen Trott, has stepped away from the Co-op for the time being. He was a highly valued member of the team that contributed great work and a valuable perspective. We hope to see him join us again at a later time.
