Community Advisor - Sunshine Coast and Howe Sound, Port Mellon to Desolation Sound

"I am pleased to be a part of the Community Involvement Program. My career has given me the opportunity to work in all sectors of the department and has now led me to the role of Community Advisor on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. I will be supporting all the great projects that Grant McBain has had prior involvement in.

It is also my intention to work with the community groups to identify, initiate and support new projects that have meaning to both the community and the fisheries resource. I am excited and energized to work with all the dedicated groups within my area."
