Two New Employees for the Community Relations Team

We are pleased to announce that Ms. Chantal Vallières and Mr. Sébastien Jacques have joined the Yamana Gold team as community relations agents.

Chantal has over 20 years of experience in the health and social services sector. Her knowledge acquired in the field as a manager, including six years with an Indigenous community, and her experience as a psychosocial worker will be put to good use on the community relations team. Chantal holds a technical diploma and a Bachelor of Social Work, both proudly obtained from the region's educational institutions.

Sébastien has more than a dozen years of experience in event organization and education. He also has a wealth of experience in communications, particularly in the area of multimedia platform management – a definite asset for the community relations team. Sébastien earned technical diploma in social work from Cégep de l'Abitibi-Témiscamingue and a certification in recreation and leisure studies from Cégep du Vieux Montréal.

Both of our new staffers have training in the psychosocial field, and both have creative, dynamic personalities and people skills that are sure to make for positive relations with neighbourhood residents. They have already stepped into their roles and are ready to welcome you to the community relations office.

Chantal and Sébastien will contribute their expertise to the community relations team, joining existing members Geneviève Tétreault, Communications and Community Relations Coordinator, and Marcel St-Pierre, Project Superintendent.
