GET TO KNOW CAMERON OGILVIE

HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT BLUE HERON ENVIRONMENTAL?

My wife sent me a job ad for Blue Heron – we’ve been looking for an opportunity that would take us to northern Ontario. I looked up the team, as well as what they do, and was immediately intrigued!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING AN ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIST?

I think it’s still early to have a favourite part, however, I’m looking forward to being able to use my experience to face the challenges and highlights that environmental work brings. I’m also eager to get the opportunity to work outdoors and in new settings.

IF YOU COULD PICK UP ANY NEW SKILL IN AN INSTANT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I think it would be cool to be skilled enough to drive a Formula 1 car… so quick reflexes and being able to withstand high G-forces.

GOT ANY FAVORITE QUOTES?

“Well… it’s a swan”

– Peter Ian Staker, Hot Fuzz

WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO IN THE NEXT YEAR THAT YOU’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE?

I’d like to do an overnight ice fishing trip on a quiet lake and/or an overnight, remote hunting trip.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE YOU’VE EVER VISITED?

I haven’t done much travelling, but I will say Drumheller, Alberta is my favourite so far – because dinosaurs…
