Kaila Mintz

Hailing from Corner Brook in Western Newfoundland, Kaila (she/her, settler) works as Innovation Coordinator at Grenfell Campus. She spends much of her free time biking, running, cross-country skiing, and taking in concerts and cultural events–while squeezing in time to cook and bake to keep up her energy. In past lives she’s worked as a foreign service officer with Global Affairs Canada and coordinated an advocacy campaign aimed at ending impunity for sexual abuse committed by UN personnel, and has a Master’s degree in Immigration and Settlement Studies. At the height of the pandemic, Kaila returned to Newfoundland and Labrador to reestablish her roots at home, and ran for the NDP in the 2021 federal election. She deeply values her memberships with the Western Environment Centre and the Indy, and is a volunteer with Corner Brook’s Sexual Assault Response and Advocacy (SARA) project and a community spin instructor.
