Heidi Greco

A longtime resident of South Surrey/White Rock (B.C.), Heidi works as a writer, editor, and instructor. She leads workshops on a variety of topics, making presentations at conferences, galleries, and schools. She has also worked with inmates in the writing program at Matsqui Penitentiary and at Surrey Pre-Trial Facility.
She helped develop the Readings by the Salish Sea series in her community. She served as her city's 'resident poet' in 2012 as part of the cross-Canada Mayor's Challenge and is pleased that one of her 'wishlist' items has come true: Surrey now has an official Poet Laureate, Renee Sarojini Saklikar.
She enjoys lazy gardening as well as foraging for berries, mushrooms and lines for new poems.
