Work | Green Pen Writing

Thousands of documents. Hundreds of projects. Dozens of clients.

Much of the work I do is proprietary in nature (I can't share)

or involves internal documents (I won't share).

If you'd like to see more samples of my work, please get in touch.

I have had the privilege of working with Jill on different community and municipal projects. Successful projects require the experience and ability of talented people who offer a commitment to excellence. Add to that a real caring for the client and you have… Jill.

RESILIENT RURALS

Resilient Rurals is a partnership between the towns of Bruderheim, Gibbons and Lamont for a regional climate change adaptation and resilience project within Alberta's Industrial Heartland. It is a new and unique approach - created by small towns, for small towns.

I believe so strongly in the potential and power of rural communities - these three municipalities are doing incredible work leading the way for rural resilience across Alberta and Canada. As the leading community partner, the Town of Bruderheim has proven to be forward-thinking and true champions of resilience.

Jill’s work on Resilient Rurals has made a significant contribution to our communities' efforts in developing short and long term goals. We put our trust into Green Pen Writing Services to complete this valuable project, and Jill made it happen by engaging our residents, staff and regional partners in a professional manner. Her strength is definitely in engagement and coaching - we didn’t know where to start on this initiative and we now have a clear path to success. “

BEAVER COUNTY

I was genuinely inspired by Beaver County Council's progressive vision laid out in its strategic plan. The County not only welcomes business and industry, but turns a unique focus to innovation in waste management and cutting-edge agriculture. The document is a testament to the ability of my colleague, Kelly Rudyk, President of It's Logical Strategic Planning Services, to guide a municipality in its planning journey. His process captured Council's goals and desired results as drivers for decision-making, bringing clarity and vision that has set Beaver County up for long-term success.
