Sylvie Mazerolle (she/they) is an educator, course writer and consultant based in Nelson, British Columbia (BC) Canada. She benefits from living, learning and working on traditional, ancestral and unceded First Nations territories.

Sylvie is a SSHRC award recipient with an MA in Curriculum Studies and a BEd from the University of British Columbia, as well as a B.A. Honours in Sociology from McGill University. Her academic path is infused with courage and curiosity as she explores how it is that we become available to a transformation of what education is and does.

As a contemporary dance artist and choreographer, Sylvie’s body of work used somatic inquiry to delve into questions of lineage, erasure, place, identity, and the queer body. Dance allowed her to travel internationally to Niamey, Niger to perform at the Jeux de la Francophonie and to The Hague, Netherlands to attend the dance and the Child international (daCi) conference.

During her 10+ years in BC’s public francophone school district, Sylvie embedded social justice, equity, creativity and compassionate systems into her leadership as a school principal, tending to an “ecology of wellness” that values diversity, social-emotional learning, place-consciousness, reconciliation and restorative justice. Sylvie is elated and grateful to have had the privilege of joining the 2021-2022 Master Practitioner cohort to deepen and widen her leadership of compassionate systems change.
