Kate Nadeau Mercier ACP Network General Manager and Filles de Bois Coordinator
As a woman involved in various wildlife issues in the hunting and fishing community, I work actively to promote the involvement of women in this field.
A motivator in my own time, I use hunting and fishing to help you go further, to push back your own limits. You’re my inspiration, girl!
From policewoman to animator to my most important role, mother!
