- Hometown:
- Grand Prairie, AB
- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- Preserving lakes and wildlife in lakes because I loved fishing as a kid and still very much enjoy it. It would be tragic if I could no longer fish.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- I want to gain some life experience and hopefully find a career path.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- My 9th grade science teacher was really into helping the environment as much as she could and I really liked her passion.
- If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
- I would like to sit down with Dion Phaneuf because he is my favourite hockey player and I would love to get some pointers and just meet him.
My Experience So Far
Doing the Carleton
Stage 1
CCC Group 7’s exciting14-day outdoor expedition takes place in New Brunswick’s Mount Carleton area, which is an Appalachian wilderness region located mainly within Mount Carleton Provincial Park. Using a chalet base for introduction training, the course then leads CCC members on a snowshoe expedition with snowmobile support linking a network of backcountry rustic cabins. Training will cover a range of winter outdoor living skills. The training goals relate to outdoor leadership, environmental stewardship and backcountry competencies.
