| Kris Brekke, Executive Director | Kris has worked with CPAWS-NWT for almost three years. He worked as a Conservation Coordinator before assuming the Acting ED role, and more recently has become our Chapter Executive Director. Kris moved north to Yellowknife following 10 summers working as a guide on Great Bear Lake. His education includes a B.Sc. in Biology and Northern Studies. In the past year he has taken advantage of a Training Resources for the Environmental Community (TREC ) leadership program and looks forward to expanding the Chapter’s capacity to engage in conservation issues for the long term. |
| Erica Janes, Conservation Outreach Coordinator | Erica earned her B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Victoria. An indigenous northerner, she has worked as a naturalist and heritage interpreter and forestry research technician in coastal BC, but chose to return to the boreal forest in 2003. She has dedicated her time to conservation in the NWT with CPAWS since 2005, and spends as much of her time as possible exploring the wild places near Yellowknife with her young family. |
