Dag Falck Standing For Nomination as Islands Trustee 2022

Most of us on South Pender really want to work together in harmony with nature and get along as a community. 

 

To restore more cooperative relationships, we need to slow down.  As Islands Trustee, I will conduct meetings where we can do that; actually talk to each other, listen to each other’s point of view, and come to an understanding.  I will move away from the adversarial process and build towards a spirit of genuine teamwork on South Pender.

 

We are intelligent, capable people, and can work toward solutions that fit our island.

 

Let’s work toward true collaboration!

 

The current Islands Trust structure seems to be top-down, encouraging division and adversarial communications.  I will work towards re-creating the Trust so that it becomes a tool for the Islands residents and property owners to protect the environment and the rural island character.

 

Regulations and bylaws are meant to support community decision making, not over-ride it.

 

Although change can feel daunting, I have the skills to help get us there.

 

I have worked over 30 years in the organic food industry.  The last 18 years I was the Organic Program Manager for Nature’s Path Foods, North America’s largest organic cereal company, and a Canadian family-owned business.  I was the President of the Canadian Organic Trade Association for 10 years.  Locally, I was the Chair of the Trincomali Improvement District Trustees from 2017 to 2020

 

I have honed my skills in both being able to see the large picture, and the stamina to attend to the small details to help us get there.  I have worked extensively with contentious issues and challenging topics with a wide variety of stakeholders with diverse interests.

 

South Pender is my home.

 

 I’ve been happily married for 28 years to Elina, my lovely wife.  I have two adult children,

and a grandson. On Long Story Farm, our almost 14 acre property here on South Pender, we have two ancient horses, an energetic rescue puppy, and a patient old cat. And of course, we have a large garden where we use organic and regenerative practices (not certified).

to connecting with you!
