Board of Directors

Tomas Haug

Administrateur

Tom comes to EcoNova’s board bringing a lifetime of varied worldly experiences and business backgrounds.
Being a Professional Mountain, Sea Kayaking and Bicycling Guide, Tom has guided in many remote areas of the world and all over North America and Europe. Having had his own adventure guiding business for many years has credited him with a working knowledge of operating an organization with an expertise in sales and marketing.

His different adventures, the beauty of nature and people around the world led Tom to become a professional photographer. He also taught Fine Arts and Photography after completing a degree in Fine Arts/Photography/Education specializing in Renaissance Art History. While teaching in the education system he also taught Outdoor Education and paralleled these experiences with lessons on geography and knowledge of the outdoor environment. Tom also has an affiliation with the experiential education companies of Creative Toolbox and Fireside Adventures teaching photography to kids and adults.

Tom supports the teaching work EcoNova is coordinating with schools and educational institutions as he feels the way to a healthier planet is not through major political objectives, rather through listening to and working with young people who will be intrusted with our planet in the coming years.

Aloïs Gallet

Co-fondateur d’EcoNova et Administrateur

Aloïs is one of the two co-founders of EcoNova (with Alexa Camargo). Trained as a lawyer and economist, Aloïs became interested in environmental issues and their cultural underpinnings in 2007 during a student stay in Shanghai. A specialist in climate issues, he has worked in law firms, corporations, governments and non-profit organizations.

Aloïs is convinced that the ecological and social degradation caused by human development models that ignore planetary limits are, and will remain, the greatest challenges facing present and future generations. If we are to meet these ecological challenges in time, we must urgently promote the dissemination of knowledge and the training of free, critical, creative and cooperative minds. This is precisely what EcoNova and environmental literacy are all about. Since the first EcoNova project, Aloïs has been project manager, program manager, content creator, animator and trainer. He assumed the role of Executive Director in 2023. His involvement with Econova continues as a director.

Aloïs also expresses his vision as a carbon consultant and corporate trainer. He is a professional facilitator of the La Fresque du Climat tool. He is a member of the West Vancouver Environment Committee, where he has lived since 2023. He writes a column for the bilingual community newspaper. La Source. Il est élu Conseiller des Français de l’étranger depuis 2021 pour l’ouest Canadien. Profil disponible dans National Observer.
