Board

Tracey Saxby

Marine Scientist. Activist. Visionary change-maker.

Co-Founder, Executive Director, past Board member (2014 to 2017)

In 2007 Tracey kickstarted the grassroots movement to reduce plastic bag use across Canada, when she proposed that Rossland should be the first plastic-bag free community in Canada. The initiative garnered national media attention, as well as a few awards.

Fast-forward seven years, and Tracey has picked up a megaphone to inspire thousands of people to defend, protect, and restore Howe Sound.

She is currently developing a new campaign called the #ZeroCarbonChallenge, which is a ten-year plan to catalyze climate action in Canada.

Tracey holds a masters equivalent in marine science and is a partner at Visual Science with over twenty years of experience working at the nexus of science, design, and communication.

Her passions include skiing, kiteboarding, rockclimbing, singing, gardening, and playing D&D.

Delena Angrignon

Student of life. Curious. Outdoor enthusiast.

Co-Founder, Admin / Finance, past Board member (2014 to 2017)

Delena and her husband moved to Squamish in 2005 as the old Woodfibre pulp mill was shutting down. It was the beginning of a town going through a revitalization.

They have spent years running the trails, climbing the mountains, and paddling in the local waters of Howe Sound, and have grown to appreciate the gift of living in an area of the world that has clean water and air.

In 2014 after years of enjoying the privilege of living in such a pristine environment, Delena helped co-found My Sea to Sky with other passionate neighbors. With a fossil fuel industry trying to make a comeback to the Woodfibre site located in Howe Sound, she felt pulled to participate in helping to defend and protect this incredible natural environment.

Siobhan Winters

Activist. Nature Enthusiast. Animal Lover.

Social Media Coordinator

Siobhan has always been passionate about the wilderness. Growing up with an inherent love for the planet, she realized at a young age that most of humanity’s priorities seemed critically flawed, and felt compelled to do something about it. A strong desire to protect the planet and the creatures that reside here led Siobhan to be heavily involved in the non-profit sector over the last decade.

From rehabilitating wildlife and fostering kittens, to spearheading rescue missions, to writing letters to elected officials, Siobhan does whatever she can to advocate for the environment.

In her spare time, she loves cuddling her cats, hiking in the backcountry, and lugging her camera around to get photos and videos of wildlife.

Rhiannon Fox

Forest ecologist. Community-builder. Dreamer.

Campaign Coordinator.

Rhiannon is a lifelong environmentalist with a passion for bringing people together. She and her family moved to Vancouver from the US in 2017 and immediately fell in love with the region. She is deeply involved in local organizing on issues of climate, housing, cycling and safe streets, and municipal politics.

She holds a master’s degree in forest and environmental science from the University of Washington. She’s worked on environmental issues from multiple angles, having spent time in the environmental consulting industry, the US Forest Service, and the nonprofit world, and is excited to bring these diverse perspectives to fighting to protect Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound.

In her spare time, Rhiannon loves hiking, trail-running, curling up with a book and a cat, playing board games with her family, and watching live-streamed city council meetings. In previous lifetimes, she’s also been a long-distance hiker, a climber, and a mediocre banjo player.
