Sylviane Pichardie,
Network Manager, Finance
Sylviane is the best person to speak with about CPF’s bookkeeping, reporting and the overall financial management. She strongly believes in giving young Canadians the opportunity to learn and continue their studies in French.
Trish Rognvaldson,
Manager of Programming
Based out of Cochrane, Trish has been involved with CPF since her children entered French Immersion in grade one. Her roles have included Chapter President, member of the Alberta Board of Directors, and she is now your go-to person for anything related to chapter support across the province. She is passionate about creating opportunities for students to learning and use French in and outside of the classroom. Away from her office, you will find Trish outdoors either hiking, gardening, or on the water somewhere in her canoe.
Isabelle Yeo,
Branch Outreach Coordinator
Isabelle is your behind the scene kind of gal – most of the time. She coordinates any special projects or programs put on by the Alberta branch and provides general office support. She is also a passionate advocate for all those learning French. She loves to go on adventures whether near, far, big, or small with her family.
Nicole Tryon, Program Coordinator
Nicole helps coordinate any special projects or programs put on by the Alberta & NWT branches. When not at her computer, she can be found curled up with a good book.
