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 est l’un des deux membres co-fondateurs d’EcoNova (avec Alexa Camargo). Juriste et économiste de formation, Aloïs s’est intéressé aux questions environnementales et leur sous-jacents culturelles depuis 2007 lors d’un séjour étudiant à Shanghai. Spécialiste des questions climatiques, il a exercé en cabinets d’avocats, au sein d’entreprises, des Gouvernements et d’organisations à but non lucratif.

Aloïs porte la conviction que les dégradations écologiques et sociales induites par des modèles développement humain qui ignorent les limites planétaires sont et seront les plus grands défis des générations actuelles et futures. Pour que ces défis écologiques puissent être appréhendés à temps, il est urgent de favoriser la diffusion de la connaissance et la formation des esprits libres, critiques, créatifs et coopératifs. C’est justement l’objet d’EcoNova et de la littératie environnementale. Depuis le premier projet EcoNova, Aloïs a été gestionnaire de projet, responsable de programmes, créateur de contenus, animateur et formateur. Il a assumé les fonctions de Directeur Exécutif en 2023. Son engagement au sein d’Econova continue en tant qu’administrateur.

Aloïs exprime aussi sa vision en tant que consultant carbone et formateur auprès des entreprises. Il est animateur professionnel de l’outil La Fresque du Climat. Il est membre du Comité Environnement de West Vancouver où il réside depuis 2023. Il tient une chronique pour le journal communautaire bilingue La Source. Il est élu Conseiller des Français de l’étranger depuis 2021 pour l’ouest Canadien. Profil disponible dans National Observer.
