The first road to Port Renfrew from Sooke and River Jordan went through in the Fall of 1956, by my memory. We bought an old car and drove out in 1957 so my father could work at Crofton pulp mill. We lived in Ladysmith. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History at University of British Columbia in 1973, taking 3 extra years to travel to South America and Japan, and canoe about 4,000 km. Until 1981 I worked in Ontario with the federal government, and got a Master of Business Administration from Harvard in 1979. Since then, we have lived in B.C., mainly in Metchosin. I worked with the provincial government in environment and parks programs, and then the Great Bear Rainforest. Since 2006, I‘ve assisted the Nanwakolas First Nations with implementation of the Great Bear Rainforest‘ agreements.
