My Experience on the Board

My Experience on the Board

For the readers who do not know me very well, my name is Antoine Gendron and I am a University of Lethbridge student. I am completing my fifth year of post secondary school (2-year Sport Management and Ministry Diploma and 3rd year at U of L) and the Bachelor of Science portion of my mixed Bachelor of Science and Education. I became involved with the Oldman Watershed Council because of my passion for environmental science, leadership, education, and positive change.
