FRANCE BENOIT -PRESIDENT
France is a policy advisor turned filmmaker who then decided to become a farmer. She recently sold her off-grid home and farm of 27 years to move downtown Yellowknife. The move was prompted by a desire to live more sustainably by going car-less, moving into an old trailer and taking it to higher levels of energy efficiency and continuing to operate Le Refuge Farm, now a smaller downtown community farm. In summer, she can be seen taking her products to the Yellowknife Farmers Market on her electric bike.
ANDREW ROBINSON - TREASURER
Andrew is passionate about developing more sustainable ways of living in Canada’s North. He believes that electric cars have great potential in Yellowknife - they use clean, green, locally generated hydro-electricity and Yellowknife is small enough that even a smaller battery provides plenty of range. He has been a member of the YK Car Share since 2017.
