Assistant deputy minister of advanced education and labour market development, post-secondary division, Dr. Mark Zacharias (pictured second from the right) returned to his roots in a recent visit to College of the Rockies where he inspected work on the college’s Knowledge Infrastructure Program expansion. Dr. Zacharias grew up in Cranbrook and attended school at Mount Baker Secondary before taking university transfer courses at College of the Rockies.

From there he attained his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in geography from the University of Victoria and a PhD in zoology from the University of Guelph before going into public service. He took up his position as ADM in 2008.
