Here’s some words from our presenter!
“My name is Helen Panter, I’m the Public Outreach and Education officer for the Southwest Northwest Territories Field Unit. A long title to say that I deliver educational programs, in person and virtual, to a wide range of audiences. I have been an interpreter for over 10 years now and I have started my Parks Canada career in Wood Buffalo National Park. I have delivered multiple programs on a lot of subjects. I’m a person that is passionate about what I do and about talking to people. I love my job, I love sharing my parks with everyone and I’m always looking forward to all programs as it is a way for me to share my passion.”
