Sandra J. Trainor

Born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Sandra is a freelance marketing consultant, specializing in assisting busy small businesses to maximize sales and marketing ROI. Currently based in the Soo, Sandra spent more than 30 years in the Simcoe County area. It was there she developed her passion for local food and agriculture while working with farmers, producers, farmers’ markets, retailers, and restaurateurs. She believes that food brings people together, no matter what their background and that food grown and produced close to us should be not only supported, but celebrated. In her spare time, Sandra loves to explore area lakes in her kayak and spend time at her cottage on the North Shore.
