Growing up in north eastern British Columbia I was inspired, almost daily, by the majestic view of snow-tipped Rockies, sixty miles or so to the north west. It is this view of snow-tipped Rockies that inspires me to follow my path: to encourage collective, positive action on the environment and ecology today, in order to afford our collective descendants the same view tomorrow, and in the distant future. My vision and legacy statements are as simple as that.
