Nicola Koyanagi (she/they) – Coordinator

Nicola Koyanagi is a fourth-gen Japanese Canadian with Irish, Scottish, German, and English ancestry, who grew up as a settler in Nogojiwanong on Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg territory. She is a learner and a lover moved by food, plants, art, and human connection. Through her community work and organic growing, Nico is interested in how we can live with more compassion, kindness, and care towards ourselves, each other, and the earth alongside challenging and resisting colonialism and capitalism in all its forms.

Nico is grateful for all the work OPIRG Peterborough does in the community and can’t wait to collaborate with you all towards our collective vision of transformation and liberation.
