Regan Zink

Director, Candidate Member

Why Am I a Director? 

 I serve as a Director because I am passionate about strengthening connections between research, practice, and policy in Ontario’s planning profession. As a candidate member completing my PhD in Rural Studies at the University of Guelph, I value contributing a rural and agri-food systems lens to Council discussions.  

My Background 

With over six years of experience in research, food systems, planning, and communications—and a background in Urban Planning and Urban Design from the University of Waterloo—I am committed to advancing community resilience, urban–rural interdependence, and environmental adaptation through thoughtful governance and collaboration.
