Of all of Living Lakes Canada’s programming, the National Lake Blitz stands out for its wide geographic and demographic reach. This volunteer program aims to be inclusive and accessible to all, and Victor’s work helped to expand these efforts.

As the Lake Blitz Program Assistant in the summer of 2024, Victor worked directly with Lake Blitz volunteers to improve their experience. Victor engaged with volunteers online to field questions, developed communications materials, and provided French translations for both the Lake Blitz and its sister program, the Lake Biodiversity Photo Challenge. Victor shares, “My time with Living Lakes has been invaluable in developing my professional skills and understanding the importance of collaboration and effective communication in a successful team.”

Victor left Living Lakes to work with the Comité FrancoQueer de l'Ouest as a Program Manager, where he focuses on supporting marginalized groups in official-language minority communities. Victor notes that, “Working with and supporting a diverse group of people, like the Lake Blitz volunteers, has strengthened my ability to support people from all backgrounds.”

Thank you, Victor, for your work in supporting and improving the Lake Blitz volunteer experience while promoting accessibility within the program!
