Jason
Savoie-Young
This striking lad was born
and raised in Victoria, minus a short stint in France during
elementary school. Jason has traveled throughout the Western
States, Mexico, Europe, Japan and South Africa, and plans to
continue his worldly adventures in September. Mr. Savoie-Young
enjoys kayaking, hiking, camping, surfing, flying (he is currently
working on his commercial pilots license), and it is this passion
for the outdoors that has lead him to join this year E-team
(plus the great salary). Jason loves to gorge on spicy East
Indian food and wash it all down with a nice, cold Weinharts-
or any beer for that matter!

Jessica
Martin
Jessica is from the small
town of Fruitvale, British Columbia. She has recently traveled
to Chicoutimi, Québec, where she participated in a French
language program and has traveled to Oregon and California.
On her return from California she purchased a drum, and to the
dismay of her travel mate gave up driving in favour of making
music with her new instrument. Jessica’s Nana is an important
person in her life, a person whose qualities she admires and
aspires to develop in herself. Jessica thinks that if she were
an animal she would like to be a monkey, observing others and
spending time up in the trees. Jessica’s interest in the outdoors
is reflected in her hobbies of hiking, mountain biking, and
canoeing. She has a love of laughter and an interest in non-profit
organizations with a commitment to local communities, making
Jessica a perfect and valuable addition to the Veins of Life
Watershed Society E-team Crew. |

Taryn
McCaffrey
Taryn
was born in White Rock BC and attended the University of Victoria
where she completed an undergraduate degree in Geography and
Environmental Studies. She enjoys many outdoor activities
including hiking, bicycling and rock climbing. She also
recently took a SCUBA course and hopes to do more diving in
the near future. Taryn spent the last year traveling around
Australia and New Zealand. She has a very strong interest
in native plants and hopes to put some of her knowledge to work
this summer while working with the E-Team.

Kyla
Tienhaara
Kyla was born in Niagra
Falls, Ontario, but has happily been living on the West coast
for the past six years. She has an undergraduate degree
in Environmental Sciences with a minor in Political Science
from UBC. In her spare time you may find her playing in
the waves, sailing and windsurfing, or hiking through the forest.
If she had a choice she’d rather be a dolphin or a tiger or
at least out campaigning against their extinction. Kyla
is excited about getting outdoors with the E-Team this summer
and will be heading to England in the fall to pursue her Master
degree in Environmental Law. |

David
Major
This
being the second E-Team he has supervised, David likes to think
of himself as a savvy veteran. Anyone watching him wandering
aimlessly around the office may think otherwise... He
does, however, very much enjoy working with motivated youths
such his current and past E-Team crews. He enjoys
his spare time outside (don't we all?) mountain biking, photographing
interesting things, hiking, and throwing a frizbee through trees
and over grass. David is hoping to do some world travelling
after Christmas to Asia and Japan.

Lisa
Fairley
Lisa is the coordinator
for the Marine Mammal Monitoring (M3) project. Combining her
skills in boating with her passion for whales, she will be our
coxswain and team leader on the water this summer. Lisa recently
graduated from UVic’s Geography and Environmental Studies program,
where she focused her studies on marine protected areas and
whale conservation. During her limited spare time, she is a
volunteer coxswain for the Coast Guard Auxiliary in Oak Bay.
Lisa is very excited about getting this pilot project underway
this summer.
