Meet Gillian Fuss, the Manager of the Emergency Planning Secretariat! She is a recovering biologist, who was drawn away from science towards science communication, watershed/landscape management, cross-cultural work, and decision-making. She has a master's from UBC in forestry. She was the first EPS employee and now manages the EPS program, ensuring progress towards Hilekw Sq'eq'o goals, and advocating for UNDRIP at all levels of climate resilience and planning. She was born in Saanich, but has lived in Abu Dhabi, Montreal, Sault Ste. Marie, and more. In her spare time, Gillian finds her peace hanging out with her dog, in the garden, or walking up mountains.
