Bio: Officer Vachon first became a wildlife protection officer in 1972. He underwent career development training in investigation techniques and was a member of the Investigation and Information Service from 1977 to 1980.
He was given responsibility for the Havre-Saint-Pierre and Laurier-Station offices in 1987, followed by Beauceville in 1988, Saint-Raymond in 1990 and Thetford-Mines in 1991.
He was appointed Wildlife Protection Office unit commander for Thetford-Mines and Laurier-Station in 2000, and went on to develop new working methods as well as an innovative approach to the poaching of white-tailed deer involving a combination of ground work and aerial patrols.
Mr. Vachon was known for his expertise, professionalism and persistence. He was an inspiration to his colleagues from Québec in the battle against poaching. Wildlife protection was his passion, and he devoted 33 years of his life to the cause with the enthusiasm and commitment that were his trademark.
