Look back, look forward…

2022 fut une année intense mais avec beaucoup de pas en avant, tant au niveau personnel que professionnel. I completed a few systematic review exercises of my year and there were many more ups than downs. 2022 was a big year full of transitions.

After nearly three exciting, intense and productive years, I decided to leave my position as Executive Director of Food Secure Canada, published and provided commentary on the food crisis as Senior Fellow at the University of British Columbia’s School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and joined the board of Équiterre – the largest environmental organization in Québec, which also does excellent work on sustainable food systems. I’ve also had other rewarding assignments.

I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to travel abroad for both work and pleasure.

Most recently, I was honoured to have been elected to the board of the of the Council of Canadian Academies – le Conseil des académies canadiennes. The Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) convenes the best experts in their respective fields to assess the evidence on complex scientific topics of public interest to inform decision-making in Canada. Merci pour l’accueil chaleureux à la rencontre du mois de décembre à Montréal et au plaisir de collaborer cette année pour accomplir cette mission importante!

I know this year has in store exciting challenges. Stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks…
