), Project Co-ordinator. Faye Smith was born on Vancouver Island and later, she lived, studied and worked in music in Vancouver, Paris and Toronto before returning to the Island in 1980. Faye hadn’t been in Qualicum Beach very long before environmental issues started to occupy her. As a founding member and coordinator of Qualicum Beach Streamkeepers she was involved with many large stream habitat projects. Those include the fishways at the mouth of Grandon Creek and Beach Creek and the removal of the old water storage dam on Whisky Creek and others. Her involvement with MVIHES began in 1999 as part of the Central Island Fisheries Renewal Program and continued with the coordination of the Englishman River Watershed Recovery Plan.
