Normand Charlebois grew up on a dairy farm in St-Bernardin, in Eastern Ontario. After graduating from Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute, Normand studied biochemistry at the University of Ottawa for three years. But once he got a taste of aviation, he never looked back and says he enjoyed every minute of the ride! Having now settled in L'Orignal, Ontario, he is not far from his roots. During free time, he enjoys sailing, boating and golfing. Although he spends some time in Florida each winter, where he enjoys more golfing, he still finds time to get in some snowmobiling when he is at home.
