Haawa Ooka!

The Gwaii Trust Society would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Michelle “Ooka” Pineault for her incredible 10 years of service on our board.

Throughout her time with us, Ooka has consistently centred the well-being of our island communities. Her deep knowledge, leadership, and care have made a lasting impact on the work we do.

We are truly grateful for her dedication and the heart she has brought to Gwaii Trust. Haawa, Ooka! Your contributions will be felt for years to come.
