April Telford
Historic Expert, Lab Manager, Administrative Assistant  

April’s role as lab manager comprises of analysis and cataloguing of historic artifacts, as well as overseeing and refining collections procedures, data management and analysis tools. In her admin role she supports the broader work of the team, including developing mobile apps for data collection, excel applications for scheduling and logistics and has sourced and tested GNSS equipment.

April moved from Vancouver to a locked-down Toronto that precluded her from typical social and cultural experiences in her new home.

Instead, she explored Toronto's ravines and rivers, encountering historic dump sites and took an interest in the discarded material objects that she found.

These objects provided a tangible connection to the city’s history and a sense of rootedness in the landscape—an experience that echoes archaeological thought and motivated her to pursue a career in CRM. Outside of her explorations with her dog Casper, April also enjoys tinkering with electronics and technology.
