Hazel Trego - H. Trego
A passion for social justice and respect for wild things drives Hazel's professional and personal life. She is firmly rooted on the west coast of Canada, with a deep interest in other cultures, history, environmental concerns and other current events. A long career in education and counselling is gradually slowing down, and Hazel is taking more time to express creative energy through writing, photography, spending more time sailing, travelling, and appreciating the wild at her island retreat.
