ṮEṮÁĆES Climate Action Project

I am an emeritus Professor of Respiratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of British Columbia and a Clinician Scientist at St Paul’s Hospital and the UBC Center for Heart Lung Innovation.

I am now a full time resident of S,DÁYES (Pender Island) and a board member of the Southern Gulf Islands Community Resource Centre Society (https://www.sgicommunityresources.ca/). I was one of the organizers of the ṮEṮÁĆES Climate Action Project and a member of the ṮEṮÁĆES Steering Committee dedicated to fostering community to community relations between the W̱SÁNEĆ people and the Gulf Island settlers who largely occupy W̱SÁNEĆ traditional homelands.
