Rosaline Hill is committed to connecting community-making to advocacy. Her research in neighbourhood development patterns has led to more resources and opportunities for change.
As a multi-award winning architect, Hill combines her professional expertise — and an aptitude for the intricacies of the city’s approvals process — with a driving passion for advocacy and creating a true sense of community.
