As Sarah Goodman admits, she raised a few eyebrows when she left her post as director of corporate affairs for Teck Cominco to take up at Tides Canada.

Ross’ Story

In the days following the Clayoquot Sound campaigns, Ross McMillan was named provincial co-chair of a land and resource management board in Clayoquot Sound, and began forging a relationship with the environmental community.

Ross’ initial contribution evolved into an eight-year engagement, and it’s not over yet.
