Dave Gray-Donald
Program Manager, Oil and Gas
Dave has worked at the intersections of environment, media, and movements for social justice for over a decade. He followed pipeline battles like Line 9 and Energy East in Quebec and Ontario as a journalist before moving to Treaty Four Territory in Regina, SK, to work as the publisher of Briarpatch Magazine. While there, he became increasingly interested in the oil and gas industry, even taking the bus (when it existed) to Calgary to cover the Global Petroleum Show. Before joining Environmental Defence, Dave worked as a book publicist at Between the Lines, a social justice publisher in Toronto. He enjoys basketball, gardening, and biking around the city to meet up with friends and find good food.
