University of Calgary on a basketball scholarship prior to transferring to UFV. Tony graduated from UFV in 2012 with his Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Geography with a Sociology minor. In his time as a student, Tony enjoyed opportunities to do field research, developed strong writing practices and time management skills.</p> <p>Tony has taken his education and utilized it to build a career working with sustainability oriented and pharmaceutical industries. He has previously held the positions of Operations Manager for RecycleSmart Solutions, and the Sustainability Project Manager of Nexe Innovations; and currently works as a Program Manager at Foresight Cleantech Accelerator Centre.</p> <p>Outside of his work as a cleantech ecosystem accelerator, Tony finds time to volunteer for AthElite Basketball Academy. Joining UFV as an Alumni Association Director is just one way in which Tony looks to give back to the communities he loves. He endeavors to see a better future for the UFV community and looks forward to adding his expertise to the mentorship and board governance initiatives. Tony feels having lived in Calgary, Prince George and throughout the Lower Mainland have given him a diverse set of community experiences to lean on.</p> <p>His advice for his younger self would be, “networking, networking and more networking. It’s astonishing how many people are willing to help with opportunities when asked.”</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-7041 size-thumbnail alignnone fresco-image" src="https://alumni.ufv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Bradley-Menard-update-2025-150x150.jpg" alt="Bradley Menard update 2025" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://alumni.ufv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Bradley-Menard-update-2025-150x150.jpg 150w, https://alumni.ufv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Bradley-Menard-update-2025-223x223.jpg 223w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></p> <p><strong>Vice-Chair<br /> </strong></p> <p>Bradley Menard, BGS ’14, BAAE ’21<br /> Senate of The University of British Columbia</p> <p>Bradley is a proud UFV alumnus, having completed 6 programs at the University including a Bachelor of Arts in Adult Education and a Bachelor of General Studies, Educational Technology option.
