Carlie

Carlie-  Allegedly the child of Vikings, Carlie thankfully strayed from her predestined war path to choose, instead, the conquest of outdoor recreation.  Her subsequent experiences with art, traveling, work and school are apparent.  Any challenge before Carlie is approached with a certain style, competence and brute force that is uniquely her own.

Carlie can be found between her home town of 100 Mile House and the rest of western Canada. She has a degree in forestry and outdoor recreation from Selkirk College. Her time is divided between various projects.

 

Julia

Julia- Julia’s counterparts in university, on the planting block, playing water polo, or on any other competitive front, know a few things for certain. She’s always a pleasure to be around, always an unrelenting positive force--when she’s not busy dusting the floor with you. It’s not the kind of thing you soon forget.  Great to have you on the team.

Julia has a degree in political science from U of Guelph and divides her time between Canada and the rest of the world.

 

 

James Wilkie

James Wilkie.  The Wilkiest man alive.  Jim is the Yin and Yang of planting. In camp he’s the first guy to welcome newcomers. He pulls heartstrings with his choice musical ability and coins the phrases which raise crew spirit. In the field Jim is a workhorse, he’s all business. Legend has it that he finished a season with a broken wrist (shovel side), though it seems unlikely.

Ol’ Jimbo is a wily vet, a genuine good guy, and a true friend.     

Jim resides in Kelowna in the off season.  He’s an avid snowboarder, a handyman and a seasoned traveler.

 

Jordan

Jordan-  Whether he’s on the block, playing sports, playing Xbox, acing his classes or being the ever cool guy we know and love--well, Jordan’s got skills. Mad skills. Great job with the skills man.*  

Jordan is wrapping up a science degree from U of A in Edmonton. Apparently he’s just stoked.

 

Mike

Mike- Caught between the forces of good and evil, this writer by nature is forced into a literary battle to save the Universe.

Mike has an unmatched sense of wit and satire with an ever keen eye for human behaviour. He also seems to have a unique tolerance over physical elements and can win a mean food fight… The good fight.

Mike has a degree in English Lit. from the University of Waterloo.  Mike too has developed a taste for traveling the Rock. This is the only known picture of Mike in existence.

 

Bill and Cathy Hodgkinson

Bill and Cathy Hodgkinson

We thought we knew what we were doing until we met Bill and Cathy.  If they don’t then no one does.

Bill and Cathy are the backbone of Alberta. Their busy lives are divided between their family and their farm. Their generosity and advice has given Shakti a strong foothold in the industry. They are an immense source of inspiration and the unquestioned last word on work ethics, practical knowledge and Jordan’s homework. 

- It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock & roll.-  AC/DC

 

Chelsey

Chelsey -  Revered for her strategic insight and leadership capacity; feared for her volatile temper and abuse of power.  Chelsey is the natural generalissimo.   

It is frightening how fast Chelsey picks up any job put before her. Some people got it, and some people got it!

Chelsey is finishing a science degree from U of A in Edmonton.
