UQROP's Board of directors
Sébastien Pion
Board member
A Saint-Hyacinthe native, Mr. Pion gets involved early on with UQROP and the birds of prey clinic while still a high school student. This is when he discovers the fascinating world of raptors and veterinary medicine. Assisting the veterinarian, helping with rodent management, helping with presentations, bird training or taxidermy tasks; a few of the many jobs required to help UQROP operations run smoothly. After receiving his degree in animal health, he completes his veterinary training at the University of Montreal in 2008. He currently works in the public health field for the Canadian food inspection agency.
Nancy Lambert
Vice-president Secretary
Tourist and Congress director in Saint-Hyacinthe, Mrs. Lambert holds an ITHQ tourism diploma and an HR MC. Her vast experience in the tourism industry along with her in?debt knowledge of operations regarding organizations makes her a great asset. Since its early operations, she has always had an interest in this organization, making her a valuable Chouette à Voir! ambassador.
Réjean Duval
vice-president treasurer
The Swallow was the spark that initiated me into bird observation and, over time, into conservation. A visit to Chouette à voir! is where I became star struck with the fascinating world of raptors. The very existence of this organisation, which cares for these magnificent creatures, is of the utmost importance and my role as a single individual helps support its mission.
Rémi Gauvin
Administrator
An Abitibi native, his passion for the natural world dates back to his childhood. After several years in Montreal, his interest for bird observation resurfaces after moving to Saint-Hyacinthe, some 20 years ago. M. Gauvin is an environmental technician for the city of Saint-Hyacinthe. Quite interested in all of UQROP and Chouette à Voir! activities, he has become even more implicated since 2014 by sitting on UQROP’s administrative comity.
Françoise Benoit
Administrator
A resident of St-Jude, Françoise almost grew up on the actual site of Chouette à voir! The Land on which UQROP can be found used to belong to her family. She maintains this link by being involved in several UQROP's activities.
André Dallaire
Administrator
Since he was young, this Sherbrooke native has been fascinated by the natural world and its wildlife. His studies in veterinary medicine at the University of Montreal at Saint-Hyacinthe allow him to discover the birds of prey clinic. He then continues his studies into ecotoxicology, by way of a testing semi-domesticated mink so to better understand the effects on wildlife of methyl mercury poisoning. Afterwards, André follows an intense training in Prince Edward Island to achieve pathology specialist status. Over the next 15 years and back in Quebec, he works for the University as a pathologist for fauna/exotic animals. Since April 2016, Dr. Dallaire works in the pre-clinical evaluation department for the development of future medicines.
