November 1, 2017 was bring your kid to work day for grade 9 students in Hinton. Rémi Duval and Ronan Tew joined us to learn about what their parents do and help out with a few tasks. Here’s what they had to say.
Rémi: I thought you only researched bears, but now I found out you do lots of other stuff and you work with people from other places like Vancouver. I did not know that! I thought that was very interesting.
Ronan: The GIS Program is cool how they do all the mapping and stuff like that. And just how many aspects there are in fRI Research.
Rémi: I talked to Cemil [the accountant]. He’s very funny!
Ronan: Dan the GIS guy was really engaging.
Rémi: She’s the co-boss. She keeps track of all the information.
[Julie Duval, the GIS Program Lead, is probably too modest to call herself the co-boss, but this is basically correct.]
Ronan: He’s the general manager. He makes sure everything within fRI Research gets done and he reports back to the board.
