CO-CHAIR

Calley's love for the outdoors brought her from Ontario to the stunning shores of Vancouver Island, settling in Tofino. Joining the Surfrider Foundation Pacific Rim chapter in March 2025, she brings a deep appreciation for the ocean, forests, and mountains that define our coastline.

With an undergraduate degree in marine and freshwater biology and experience working in the aquatic sciences, Calley combines her scientific background with her passion for conservation and meaningful community engagement. Currently working at a local surf shop, she remains deeply connected to the ocean and the community it supports.

As Co-Chair, Calley works to lead the chapter, driving our efforts to protect Pacific Rim's unique coastal environment. You'll often find her exploring the trails, catching waves, and working to ensure our beautiful coastline remains healthy for generations to come.

VICE CHAIR

April literally grew up on the ocean - born and raised in Clayoquot Sound to parents seeking a different kind of life she spent her childhood on a remote float home where every decision made was dictated by the oceans changing conditions. This experience built a deep respect for the marine environment and a passion towards conservation. 

As Vice-Chair of Surfrider Pacific Rim, April works closely with the chapter on issues related to preservation and connects with the public to spread awareness of the issues threatening the health of our oceans through campaigns and local programming. 

In her free time you will find April in her garden, hanging out with her family or out for an early morning dip in the sea.

MEDIA LEAD

My profound love for the Pacific Northwest coastline is the driving force behind my involvement
with Surfrider. Formerly from Vancouver and having served as the Director of Communications for Surfrider Vancouver, I relocated to the island and joined Surfrider Pacific Rim. Through education, advocacy, and hands-on initiatives, I hope to do my part in preserving our most vital ecosystems.

In my free time, you can find me on the beach, out in the water, tucked between the trees, or on a long stretch of highway. When I’m not chasing the sun and wandering the scenic route, I like to unwind on my yoga mat, share quality time with friends, and learn new skills. I consider myself a student of life and have recently chartered new waters with a sailing apprenticeship. Anchors up!
