About Carly

Carly grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia spending summers on the water racing sailboats and the winters in the gym playing basketball. With an outdoors-loving family, she spent the rest of her time swimming in the lakes with her black lab, hiking the Acadian forests and cooking spider dogs on open campfires.

When not at WILD School, Carly is probably chasing her two young boys through the parks of Collingwood.
