While Heather Gale, executive director for CanadaGAP, earned recognition for her work at the annual Safe Food Canada Symposium earlier this year, it’s technical manager Amber Bailey (the one holding the certificate, nee Luedtke ) that got my attention.

Amber did her Masters degree with me, graduating in 2002.

I sorta threw her into the Ontario greenhouse project, and she exceled.

Here’s some of her publications.
