inthespotlight The Red Deer Chamber is well served by its army of volunteers. This edition’s volunteer spotlight falls on a professional volunteer, Rene Michalak. What qualifies him as a professional, you ask? Well, at his day job, he’s the Program Manager for Volunteer Red H e k n ows w h at Deer, a position that affords him a unique perspective on the breadth and depth of volunteerism in the Red Deer community. volunteers contribute, where those contributions are needed and why they are such a significant markyourcalendar resource in the city’s success. After a day at the office, Rene fills his life with other volunteer endeavors, like fulfilling the coordinator role in ReThink Red Deer and sitting on the City’s Environment Committee. Rene also chairs the Environmental Policy Subcommittee at the Chamber, steering it through a complex collection of ideas, issues and positions. He’s well grounded for that role, having considerable personal experience in raising issues and environmental awareness in the Red Deer region. “I’m looking to be the sustainability champion,” he says. He believes the technology already exists to solve the problems we face. All that’s lacking, he says, is the political will to use it. One of the initiatives he promoted was Garbage-Free Month, a concept he saw on CBC and decided to ‘give it a go’. He was impressed with the challenge and also the result – an awareness that we really don’t need to produce garbage, especially in the volumes we currently leave at the curb. The Chamber is fortunate to have Rene at the head of the environmental table and it bodes well for the policies we’ll see in the future.
