About Lee Middleton

Lee has been a resident of the Southern Gulf Islands for 22 years and believes the blend of free ecology, free politics and free ideas makes this one of the most satisfying places to live and grow in. This will be Lee’s third term as an Island Trustee on Saturna. He recognizes that the quality of life we have on these islands needs tending, including the way we make land use and community decisions – we need to build on the free thinking and innovation of the people that make these islands home to make the healthiest lands and communities possible – which means engaging fully with the Islands Trust. Lee is strongly committed to modernizing and strengthening the Governance of the Islands Trust to allow the organization to be a creative partner with our communities as we face the environmental and community challenges of the the next 50 years. Lee was the inaugural chair of the Islands Trust Governance committee and has many years’ experience serving on community and industry boards always with an eye to how each group can make good and inclusive decisions. He very much looks forward to working with the dedicated Trustees of the Trust Area to provide the best Governance we possibly can of this very precious and unique area of the Province.
