René-Carl Dionne

We are pleased to introduce you to René-Carl Dionne, BSc., PAg.

René-Carl is a Professional Agrologist with experience in both Quebec and British Columbia. After obtaining his degree in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at McGill University, he worked in the agro-environmental advising sector. His experience in implementing best farming practices and nutrient management led him to new opportunities in the world of fertilizing residuals. Since then, he has developed and managed dozens of successful projects for the land application of liquid and dewatered residuals such as biosolids, wood ash, and diverse industrial or agri-food residuals.

His primary focus is to ensure SYLVIS’s projects in British Columbia meet or exceed client’s and stakeholder’s expectations. René-Carl oversees all aspects of project development, including proposal preparation, site assessments, data interpretation, and regulatory authorization. Once a project is contracted René-Carl ensures the smooth implementation, leaning on his experience in project management and field operations to lead his team in British Columbia. Projects under his umbrella include agricultural land fertilization, land reclamation, forest fertilization, and consulting-based residuals projects.

Land application of residuals requires in-depth site characterization along with consistent communications with partners, agencies, and the public. René-Carl has over ten years' experience liaising as a qualified professional with government agencies, municipalities, clients, landowners and the public.

As the BC Team Lead, René-Carl’s role involves identifying synergies across projects and streamlining business processes for operational excellence at SYLVIS. At the leadership level, his role includes resourcing, project team assignment, projects financial oversight, and project management systems implementation.

René-Carl is the proud father of two boys and enjoys his family time. Whenever he's not busy with his family, you'll find him sailing the Strait of Georgia, enjoying time on the snow, or he is most likely to be found developing a new beer recipe, soon to be enjoyed by his colleagues and friends.
