With a background deeply rooted in agriculture, Mathieu grew up on a dairy, cash crop and maple syrup farm and holds a Bachelor in Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Business and Agronomy from McGill University.
Christa brings the energy. A day with Christa on our team is not a day our projects lose steam. She’s the cheerleader for our industry, for our organization, and for every one of us. Her positivity and phrases of encouragement bring our team to life, even those obscure Newfie ones that we’re still not sure if she made up. As someone who has been in the ag education game for a while, she knows how to walk the tightrope between helping new projects off the ground and piecing them together to fit into our overall vision. As the adage says: if your project ever needs a burst of inspiration, talk to Christa.
Allison sees the big picture. She’s the one that takes all our ideas and brings them into reality. She lives in a world of metrics and numbers; a world that most of us prefer to observe from a safe distance with admiration and appreciation. Allison is the backbone of our operation, the string that keeps the AITC-Canada kite dancing in the air instead of flying into space. But don’t let her numerical nature fool you – she’s every bit as filled with passion for ag education as the rest of us!
