Nature Canada's Women for Nature
It’s been scientifically proven that getting outside has a profound effect on the brain. For businesswoman Elizabeth Kilvert, the great outdoors is her favourite place to go when she really needs to clear her mind.
A passion leads to success
When a woman like Elizabeth Kilvert follows her passion, good things happen. A former public servant with Environment Canada, Elizabeth discovered in 2012 that what she really wanted wasn't more time in an office — it was to build a sustainable and ethical business based on her love of food and travel. Within two months of leaving her government position, she opened her doors and The Unrefined Olive was born.
