Lisa Learning is a passionate advocate for tick safety and founder of AtlanTick Repellent Products Inc., a company that provides safe and effective prevention-based solutions for people, dogs, and horses. Her determination to educate others about the dangers of tick-borne diseases stemmed from personal experience when her sons fell ill due to the growing Lyme disease epidemic. Lisa's frustration with the lack of effective and safe tick repellent products on the Canadian market led her to create AtlanTick. The company collaborates with scientists all over the world to ensure that their products are based on the latest research and technology and are earth-friendly. While her company provides solutions, Lisa's main personal focus is on educating moms and dads, pet owners, and outdoor enthusiasts about the risks of tick-borne diseases and providing them with the knowledge and tools to stay safe. She is thrilled to share her passion and expertise with others in the Tick Talk workshop.

An individual can go missing anytime, anywhere, regardless of their age, experience, or condition. People do not go out expecting to get lost, but in our province of dense forest, it is easy to get turned around or take a wrong path. When an individual is reported missing, time is a crucial factor. Every hour a person is lost, chances of survival decrease.
By delivering services like Project Lifesaver and AdventureSmart programs like Hug A Tree, which focus on the needs of those most at risk for wandering, we hope to reduce the frequency and severity of searches.
Thanks for your selections !
