The Staff

Passionate about fusing art and social change from an early age, Ilona’s diverse experiences range from being a Canadian delegate to the United Nations at 17 years old to producing concerts across Canada. A life long social entrepreneur, in January 2004 Ilona co-founded Apathy is Boring, a national non-partisan charitable organization that uses art and technology to educate Canadian youth about democracy. As Apathy is Boring’s Executive Director she has been featured by the national media, worked with rock stars, and given thousands of youth the tools they need to get involved in their communities. Raised by socially engaged parents in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and Whitehorse, Yukon, Ilona currently lives in Montreal, Quebec.

Bernard is the most caffeinated member of the Apathy is Boring team. In between cups of coffee, he ponders the best ways to get youth involved in their communities and the electoral process. He took the scenic route on his way to A is B, exploring the wonderful worlds of journalism, music, the Rocky Mountains, and McGill University along the way.

Back on home turf following post-grad adventures in fishing, farming, and development work around the world, Stephanie is now A is B's link to Atlantic Canada. When she's not planning her next road trip, running around the city, or knitting misfit garments, Stephanie is putting her marketing degree to good use back in Montreal where life is anything but boring.

Never satisfied with looking at things from a single perspective, Daniel spent a year studying Political Science before continuing his studies as a Marketing student at the John Molson School of Business. His passions towards athletics, the piano, and social issues are what define him. Seeking to put his studies and desire for change into practice, Daniel works with Apathy is Boring’s street teams.
