Hello fellow Wikipedians!

I'm a WikiUser coming from the Gatineau, Quebec/Ottawa area and started working on this site since this spring. I'm currently doing studies (third year) in social sciences/politics at the Université du Québec en Outaouais.

Mostly on this site, I will work on some of the sites related to the Ottawa-Gatineau area, most notably for sites or events. The areas in addition of Gatineau and Ottawa includes Chelsea, Cantley and much of the Ottawa Valley I'm also helping users to know more about the public transit system in my area with the Société de transport de l'Outaouais and OC Transpo as I fully support improved public transit and better light-rail service in the region.

I also follow constently weather stories, most notably hurricanes, tornadoes and other storms events. You can often see me tracking major thunderstorms, possible tornadoes, major snowstorms, etc. Some of the biggest events in that domain I've experienced includes the 1993 North American Storm Complex which was the worst snowstorm since my birth, a developing tornado just missing my house in 1999, a near encounter with a derecho in 2006 (but a spectacular lightning show from it), the biggest rainstorm in Ottawa's history in 2004 and the Ice Storm of 1998.

Other areas of interests includes also geography, politics, sports and entertainment. Also at times, I clean up vandalism edits [1] [2]
