Andrew Fall has been nominated for his eight years of volunteer efforts with five different
organizations and working groups on Lasqueti Island. During that time, he has been president of
the Lasqueti Community Association (LCA), chair with the Regional District’s Emergency Dispatch
Advisory Committee, vice-president of the Lasqueti Island Nature Conservancy (LINC), leader of
a working group to protect public water access at Tucker Bay, and chair of the Advisory Planning
Commission (APC).
His method of work is community based, bringing people together and helping build capacity to
resolve issues collectively. Andrew is diligent about providing the necessary background
information, both legal and historical, to help resolve issues and provide a context for decision-
making. His work gathering historical data on the public access of Tucker Bay will provide a
lasting history of the island.
Andrew’s work has supported the protection and conservation of natural, cultural, and
archaeological areas on and surrounding Lasqueti Island. Andrew’s was recently voted in as the
qathet Regional District Director. To avoid any perception of conflict of interest, he has had to
remove himself from the three formal organizations (LCA, APC, and LINC). His nominator wanted
to formally recognize him for his years of effort in various capacities to improve both the
community and the environment of Lasqueti Island.
