In Memory

Elizabeth Henry

staff_ehenry.jpgIt is with great sadness that the Fraser Basin Council directors and staff mark the passing of Elizabeth Henry, our Program Coordinator of Climate Change and Air Quality. We will miss her greatly, and we offer her family and friends our heartfelt condolences.

Elizabeth was a bright light in our midst. We all benefited from her talent, her insight, and her warm, generous nature. She had passion for making positive change in the world, and compassion for the people around her. She showed each of us every day what it means to be a good colleague and friend, and a good person.

Since joining FBC in 2007, Elizabeth had coordinated programs that help local governments and First Nations increase their energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and adopt transportation demand management strategies. She was pivotal to the success of many climate change action and adaptation initiatives, and in facilitating multi-interest processes. She also oversaw the BC Clean Air Research (BC CLEAR) Fund program, which provides grants for research to support improved air quality in our communities.

Elizabeth held a B.Sc. in Ecology from the University of Guelph and recently obtained her M.A. in Adult Education from the University of British Columbia.

We knew Elizabeth to be a determined commuter cyclist who was unfazed by any weather, an avid outdoors enthusiast who loved exploring beautiful places across BC and Canada by ski, by bike and on foot, and a gardener who graciously shared the bounty of her efforts.

Though her time here was all too short, her spirit will inspire us always.

― David Marshall, Executive Director, for the FBC directors and staff
