FEATURING: STACEY REHEL
Originally from a small town on the North shore of Montreal in Québec, Stacey has always been immersed in a bilingual environment. During her university studies, she transferred from Montreal to Newfoundland to attend Memorial University in St. John’s, where she studied Marine Biology and Mathematics. After 8 years in Newfoundland & Labrador, she moved across the country to Comox, BC on Vancouver Island! She currently works as a conservation biologist for the federal government. She has worked on both the East and West coasts where French is an essential part of her work, both in her everyday tasks and in her volunteering that she does with the department, which includes helping lead a national interdepartmental language program to promote the French language from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
Originaire d’une petite ville de la rive nord de Montréal, au Québec, Stacey a toujours baigné dans un environnement bilingue. Pendant ses études universitaires, elle a quitté Montréal pour Terre-Neuve afin de fréquenter l’université Memorial de St. John’s, où elle a étudié la biologie marine et les mathématiques. Après huit ans passés à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, elle a traversé le pays pour s’installer à Comox, en Colombie-Britannique, sur l’île de Vancouver! Elle travaille actuellement comme biologiste de la conservation pour le gouvernement fédéral. Elle a travaillé sur les côtes Est et Ouest, où le français est un élément essentiel de son travail, tant dans ses tâches quotidiennes que dans le bénévolat qu’elle fait au sein du ministère, notamment en aidant à diriger un programme linguistique interministériel national visant à promouvoir la langue française d’un océan à l’autre.
