BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SUPPLY is supported by a generous and talented group of individuals that lend their skills and abilities to serve our nonprofit mission to create a more sustainable, creative, and inclusive Victoria.

MEET OUR VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS:

  • Midhat Malik, Chair

    She/her

    Hi! I’m Midhat and I am honored to lead as Chairperson of SUPPLY Victoria’s fabulous board of directors. I hold an MBA in Sustainable Innovation, have supported environmental causes for 17+ years, and am an amateur crafting enthusiast driven to create, repair, reimagine and upcycle items I have access to. I have a special interest in the sustainability and prosperity of our organization because I believe in the important role that SUPPLY Victoria can play in a future world with less waste. As such, I am keen to progress action items in the Fundraising and Governance committees to support the development of a strong foundation in the early years of our thriving non-profit. I am looking forward to working with the bright minds on this page to craft a better tomorrow.

I am a hobby artist with a passion to knock down accessibility barriers to resources enabling more people to get involved in what they want to do, whether that’s art, or environmental stewardship, or both!

  • Sarah Fallavollita

    She/her

    I am a long time lover of sustainability and have a background in sustainable clothing & textiles as well as a BBA specializing in Sustainability. Have spent time volunteering for a few different organizations focusing on sustainability within the fashion industry and have worked in several small Canadian slow fashion companies including Poppy Barley and SALT Shop here in Victoria. I like to sew and mend with much of my inspiration coming from upcycling and waste reduction concepts. I believe waste reduction as well as production/consumption as a whole are hugely important issues that need to be addressed with the reality of climate disaster at our doorstep. I'm honored to work with SUPPLY as a General Board member on several of our committees, working towards making a better community and planet for us all!

    what is possible on a canvas of thread. I work exclusively with biodegradable or recycled materials to minimize environmental impact.
