Background

About John Jack

In my fifth term in government for Huu-ay-aht First Nations (HFN), my first term as head of government, I have extensive experience in tribal government, especially from a treaty or self-government perspective. I have helped set up and govern Huu-ay-aht's economic development wing, the Huu-ay-aht Group of Businesses. I have served as HFN's representative to the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) Board of Directors since 2012, and I have been its Chair since December, 2016. I have been a Director for HFN for the Maa-nulth Treaty Society, and I served briefly as Vice-President before being reassigned to other HFN work. I was deeply involved in the LNG project between HFN and Steelhead LNG, and I continue to be involved in HFN's work with the forestry industry. I am also an appointee to the Board of Governors for Vancouver Island University, my alma mater. And I serve as a Director for the Gathering Voice Society here in BC and the First Nations LNG Alliance. I am married and a father to three wonderful young children. We live in the Oceanside area of Vancouver Island, BC.
