John (Jack) Plumley

Jack Plumley is a self-educated learner who works in education at the Calgary Zoo and resides in Calgary. He is a creative individual who enjoys writing as well as making videos and podcasts. Jack's passion for storytelling stems from his heritage as a third-generation Icelandic Canadian, his ancestors on his mom’s side having emigrated to Saskatchewan.

As a participant in the 2022 Snorri Program, Jack's time in Iceland was a transformational experience that allowed him to learn more about his ancestors and connect with the culture. His journey to Iceland fuelled his eagerness and excitement to continue exploring and expanding his knowledge of his Icelandic heritage. Jack looks forward to discovering and experiencing more from the land of his ancestors.
