Jessica Colasanto

An Indigo love child gen-Xer born in shíshálh Hospital, Jessica began breaking down systemic barriers in elementary school, and a lifetime of unconventional personal choices has happily brought her to this place at this time. She oversees Lift’s Community Support Programs (Literacy, Immigrant Services, family programs, the Community Resource Centre (CRC), and our food system). Jessica has a Bachelor of Arts from McGill University, and she’s known for holding institutional knowledge of Lift, having started her relationship doing contract work for the organization in 2001 as a home-based business owner. She loves being solutions-focused, which is why she loves working at Lift.

We live and work on the homelands and territories of the Tla’amin People. We honour the land, the Tla’amin People, and their treaty and continually seek to strengthen our relationship and responsibilities to them as guests in the territory.
