Joelle Dufour
Scientific guide-interpreter
​
After obtaining a bachelor's degree in geology at the University of Ottawa, Joëlle took on several contracts and gained experience both in the laboratory and in mining exploration. She then worked in tourism in Gaspésie and on the North Shore, which allowed her to develop a passion for sharing scientific knowledge and vulgarization and to strengthen her love for the natural sciences. Despite her time spent in big cities, her footsteps have constantly brought her back to the river, with a growing fascination for the aquatic environment, from more than 400 million years ago to today. Joëlle will welcome you with dynamism and a smile! Answering your questions, she hopes to pass on some of her curiosity and joie de vivre to you. Hope to see you very soon.
