Passing of Advisor to Board

The Company is saddened by the sudden passing of Ian Waddell Q.C. Ian recently joined our team as a strategic advisor to the board.

Mr. Waddell held a Master of Laws degree from the London School of Economics (UK) and practiced as both a Crown Attorney and Defence Counsel. As the Director of the Storefront Lawyers (VCLAS), he litigated the first class action suit in Canadian law history. In 2013, he was appointed Queen’s Counsel (Q.C.) by the Attorney General of British Columbia. He served as a Member of the Canadian Parliament for over 14 years, first representing the Vancouver Kingsway riding then Port MoodyCoquitlam. Later, he was elected to the British Columbia Legislature where he served as: Minister of Tourism, Culture & Small Business; Minister of Environment, Lands & Parks; and Minister on Intergovernmental Affairs. As minister, he started the successful 2010 Winter Olympic bid and grew BC Film into a billion dollar industry. As Special Counsel to the Royal (Berger) Commission of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, he gained extensive knowledge and valuable insights into Aboriginal and energy issues whereby his experience and expertise was instrumental in drafting sections of the repatriated Canadian constitution regarding Aboriginal rights (Section 35).

It was a pleasure to have Ian on the team we will certainly miss his colorful stories and his passion for politics and adventure.
