Staff Updates Vanessa Serroul promoted to Program Assistant position LFFA is pleased to announce that Vanessa Serroul has taken on the role as Program Assistant. She has been serving as the Acting Program Assistant at LFFA since April 2020, and previously worked with the Emergency Planning Secretariat.
Vanessa grew up in the Xwísten Community (pronounced hoist–in, meaning ‘Smiling
People’) of Lillooet and comes from a long line of fishermen and women. In 1999, she moved to the Fraser Valley to attend UFV and since called the community of Matsqui
First Nation her home. Vanessa has a vast set of experiences in the administrative field that make her the perfect choice for this position. Congratulations, Vanessa!
LFFA welcomes Alli Di Giovanni in Program Coordinator position Alli is a lover of the natural world and those who live
within it, and is thrilled to have the opportunity to join
the LFFA as Program Coordinator and support the
wellbeing of Lower Fraser fisheries. Alli holds a Bachelor of
Environment in Resource and Environmental Management, and has a diverse skill-set that will be of great benefit to the team.
She understands that when working towards shared
environmental sustainability goals, collaboration must be at
the forefront of all decision-making. While completing her degree, Alli held the Referrals Coordinator role with her
local First Nation where she supported their work to
uphold Aboriginal Rights and Title through meaningful consultation and engagement
with various (and numerous) proponents. In her free time, you can find Alli up a mountain, doing
some backroading looking for a new adventure, and even attempting to set up a tent (it never goes well…).
She looks forward to growing into her new role. Welcome, Alli!
