Sarah Harmer

Sarah Harmer is a multiple award-winning, platinum-selling singer-songwriter and environmental activist. Her album Are You Gone is a deeply personal and political collection of songs motivated by the beauty of life, the urgency of the climate crisis, and the question of loss — a spiritual successor to her acclaimed 2000 debut You Were Here.

Beyond music, Harmer is active in environmental advocacy. She co-founded PERL (Protecting Escarpment Rural Land) and led the successful effort to prevent an open-pit gravel mine in a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve on the Niagara Escarpment. In 2022, she helped launch the Reform Gravel Mining Coalition in Ontario to protect water, farmland, and biodiversity.

Harmer is currently writing songs for a new album.
