Maple Forum and AGM

Projects
I am proud to be working with the New Brunswick Maple Syrup Association to organize both the 2025 and 2026 editions of the Maple Forum. As Master of Ceremonies, I’ll have the honour of guiding these exciting events while also managing all the details — from coordinating activities to overseeing registrations — to ensure a seamless and memorable experience for everyone involved.
I was honored to partner with Gignoo Transition House Inc. to present the first Indigenous matriarchs-led provincial conference on Human Trafficking.
From November 25 to 27, 2024, at the Fredericton Convention Centre, this pivotal conference brought together over 150 attendees to address the urgent issue of human trafficking in New Brunswick.
The event featured valuable insights from leading experts, powerful stories from survivors, and actionable strategies from advocates on the front lines. Together, we explored ways to strengthen our collective efforts to combat this pressing issue in our province.
