Ysabelle Vautour

2024 Winner

“We are happy to have support to try this out. There isn’t anyone we know in NB doing this right now, so it’s all new ground, and that’s very exciting and a little scary. It’s a relief to get this as we don’t have enough experience to apply to Canada Council in this area.”
