We are delighted to have Ms. Mohr accept our invitation to join Avalon’s Board of Directors.”

Prior to joining Scotiabank, Ms. Mohr spent a number of years with Alberta Energy Co. Ltd. (now Encana Corp.) in Calgary and with CP Ships and Canadian Pacific Bermuda in London as Corporate Economist. She holds an Honours B.A. Degree and an M.A. Degree in Economics from The University of British Columbia. Ms. Mohr began her career as a mineral economist with Energy, Mines and Resources (now Natural Resources Canada) in Ottawa.

Ms. Mohr is also currently a Director of Emissions Reduction Alberta (“ERA”): an organization channelling public funds into leading-edge R&D for greenhouse gas mitigation. Ms. Mohr is a Director of the Centre for Research & Innovation in the Bio-Economy, established by the Ontario Government to fund and commercialize forest-based biotechnology. She has also recently joined the Board of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, on the Policy Council.

Ms. Mohr commented, “I am pleased to accept Avalon’s invitation to serve on its Board of Directors.
