Jean-Christophe (“JC”) Jasmin is the Québec Director at Cardus, where he draws on his background as a federal public servant and his training in political philosophy and theology to foster collaboration between faith communities, policy-makers, and the broader public.
JC is passionate about nurturing a robust civic framework, and sound public policy aimed at the public good across Québec and beyond. An ordained pastor in the French Baptist Union, he is able to combine insights from his faith and policy background to help policy-makers understand the assumptions and commitments of their public work, while also helping faith communities understand the public nature of their faith, with a steady eye on the common good.
Born and raised in Montréal, he’s the first of his lineage to live outside the island since 1710, and is proud of his heritage and Québec culture. He now resides in L’Assomption with his wife and their three children. An avid hiker, he finds inspiration in the outdoors, where he reflects on the intersection of faith, culture, and society.
