Gilles is a master electrician and has been practicing his trade for 44 years. He is currently self-employed, but worked for the City of Montreal for more than 14 years which garnered him the opportunity to be the chief electrician for the Grand Prix de Montreal for more than 6 years. He also worked on construction sites and completed several projects in the province of Quebec and in the United States.
He became involved with wildlife because his wife and some friends work for an animal shelter and he realized that he could help with infrastructure because the needs are so great. Though he says he doesn't know much about animal care, he wants to do his part by sharing his knowledge and expertise.
