Is the Public Works Manager for Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. For years, Shawn has helped manage many of his nation’s animal care and control duties including helping to organize M.A.S.H.-style vet clinics, managing disease outbreaks, and other dog & cat population control tactics. Shawn knows firsthand how critical improving access to animal service resources is – for the wellbeing of the animals (dogs, cats and wild animals around our communities), for the health and safety of members of the communities, and for the folks who are tasked with managing this difficult work. Shawn also brings his valuable experience in developing and managing community-scaled system solutions to the team.
