OUR PEOPLE
Wild Sky employs and contracts a wide community of instructors and volunteers. Our team is constantly seeking to improve, learn and provide the best educational practice. Below are just a handful of the faces you might encounter during a Wild Sky program. As an organization we adhere to a strict Safeguarding/Child Protection Policy. All staff and instructors complete vulnerable sector background checks.
Meet Chris
My passion for teaching began in 2009 when I enrolled in the College of Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan, with an emphasis on completing my degree in Physical Education Studies and transferring into the College of Education. After convocating in 2014, I have worked as a classroom teacher, release teacher, and currently teacher substitute within and around Saskatoon. I have a background in working with individuals of varying levels of abilities and am currently enrolled in the post-degree certificate program in Ed. Psych and Special Ed. at the U of S. I am a former member of the U of S Huskies Track & Field Team and although I no longer train/compete (year round), I have become a coach for Riversdale Athletics Club, where I have had the pleasure of coaching for the past 6 years. Since I was a kid, I have enjoyed spending time outdoors. Whether it was biking with my friends, playing baseball, golfing, or spending time at the lake, I would always seem to make it home after the streetlights had already come on. In my spare time you can either find me at the gym, golfing, playing my guitars, or walking my wonderful dog, Sophie. I am excited to be a new member of the Wild Sky family and look forward to continuing my learning of land-based education.
Meet Dylan
My name is Dylan Griffin and I currently work as a substitute teacher in Saskatoon. I love playing sports, listening to music, exploring outside and hanging out with friends. I am passionate about being a lifelong learner and finding new information in a variety of spaces. I enjoy meeting new people and can always have a conversation with anyone. I look forward to having an amazing summer with my Wild Sky colleagues and kids!
Meet Graeme
Hello my name is Graeme Harrison. I am a special education/ home economics teacher who also coaches track and field. I am a former huskies cross country athlete. I have a bunch of interesting talents such as beatboxing, walking on my hands and bird calls. My past time consists of travelling, running, cooking, gardening, watching my wife Michelle compete in hurdles, and walking my toy poodle.
Meet Alisha
My name is Alisha O’Brian, I work at a greenhouse and I am going into my first year of education at the University of Saskatchewan in the fall. I am a lover of plants, animals, poetry and spending time outdoors. Some activities I enjoy are reading, writing, gardening and embroidery. I am always eager to learn about any subject and I am excited to learn new things along with everyone at Wild Sky.
