Sky and his family moved to the Southern Gulf Islands when he was 5 years old. In 2002 Sky attended the Summer Earth Education Program (SEEP) and he has returned to GICEL every summer since.
Sky has held almost every position possible at GICEL he has found his way from a volunteer Junior Leader to a Board Member, Camp Coordinator and Senior Leader. When he joined the Board at the age of 18, Sky became the youngest director in GICEL’s history.
Growing up on BC’s Southern Gulf Islands allowed Sky to develop a deep connection with the wonders of the natural world and his participation in GICEL programs undoubtedly made that connection unbreakable. This passion for the West Coast that Sky developed as a young child still motivates him to this day to help children develop connections with the natural world that surrounds them.
Sky currently works as a consultant and advisor to various provincial and national politicians and political parties. He has worked on many national and provincial election campaigns, and with various NGOs, environmental lobby groups and student societies. Sky’s love of this work is due in part to the passion for environmentalism that Sky developed as a participant and leader in the Summer Earth Education Program (SEEP).
After spending time working in Victoria and Ottawa, Sky recently moved back to Mayne Island – the place he will always call home – to spend time in nature with his family and friends
