Hometown:: Ottawa, ON
What conservation issue is closest to your heart?: Animal rehabilitation, habitat restoration and the protection of species at risk.
What are you hoping to learn from CCC?: The part of the program that excites me the most is to gain experience out in the field learning hands-on what people are doing right now. I hope to have fun and learn about how I can make.
Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?: Documentaries, National Geographic and Edward Burtynsky.
If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?: I think having a good sit down with Steve Irwin would be a very eye-opening experience.

My Experience So Far

Rolling, Rolling...Rolling Down the River

Stage 1

Departing from Kozy Hollow Lodge (near Canterbury, NB), the 12th group of CCC participants head out on an expedition along part of an ancient portage trail that links the Chiputneticook Lakes to the Passamaquoddy Bay, canoeing a meandering route through the many small lakes and streams that dot the route. This area is known as a biodiversity hot spot where beaver lodges, moose, black bear and exceptional fishing are found, along with Class 1 and 2 rapids that increase the sense of adventure. Participants will experience pristine wilderness along the entire 130km route, winding up at Oak Bay Provincial Park on the Passamaquoddy Bay. It’s a trip of a lifetime and a great start to their Canadian Conservation Corps adventure.
