About us

Unapologetically local - Thimbleberry is an environmental education provider and consultancy right here in Calgary. The programs and resources available here are a result of our founder, Stephanie Aleksiuk’s Master’s research in Environmental Education and Communication. She’s head-over-heels in love with this place and can’t wait to share her passion with you.
