Michèle Turcotte

Secretary

Since childhood, Michèle has been interested in nature and curious about the place of humans in the planet’s ecology. Her interest in Appalachian Corridor and the conservation of natural environments was immediate.
As a municipal councillor (2009-2013) in Saint-Étienne-de Bolton, then mayor until 2021, she had the opportunity to get to know the organization better and to appreciate several collaborations for the benefit of the municipality. She was also involved in the environment, culture and planning committees of the Memphrémagog MRC.

Professionally, she has acted as portfolio manager for the provincial agencies Société de Développement Industriel, now Investissement Québec, after serving as director of administration at the Agence québécoise de valorisation industrielle de la recherche (AQVIR) and as program officer (status of women and community organizations) at the federal Department of the Secretary of State.

A native of Quebec City, she spent a few years in Montreal, before settling in Saint-Étienne-de-Bolton, where she has been happily settled for the past forty years.
