James Nowak, Outreach Coordinator

James Nowak staffed the first ever program at GOS back in 2012. In the decade since, he’s returned as a visiting instructor and guest storyteller.

After spending four years as the tour manager for two Canadian performing artists, James came back to GOS in the Fall of 2021 to become our Outreach Coordinator.

James has previously designed and run outdoor immersion camps for kids, completed the Kamana Naturalist Training Program to level 3.3, worked for the MNR, and sat on the Environmental Advisory Committee of Erin. He’s an accomplished storyteller, a writer, a calligrapher, and a novice letterpress printer and book artist. He studied medieval literature at the University of Toronto where he worked as a coop student on the Dictionary of Old English.

James grew up in Hillsburgh and now lives in Guelph.
