We’re growing! FNLMAQL has expanded our team by hiring three new staff members. Welcome…
Amélie Ponette (she/her) Projects Coordinator– April 2023
Amélie has 20+ years of experience as a project coordinator, a McGill diploma in Public Administration and Governance. She feels most at home in her off-grid camp in Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin) territory and she is driven by a deep respect for Nature. She believes that we have a lot to learn from First Nations’ way of life, and that their ancestral knowledge should be at the forefront of land management best practices.

Bea has a decade of experience family-serving community organizations, including administration, event coordination, parent support, and childcare. They graduated from the University of Victoria in Gender Studies and Indigenous Studies.
