Lucille Johnstone
- Langley
Lucille
Johnstone enhances the lives of British Columbians in public and
in private ways: whether volunteering, in a corporate boardroom
or providing a meal to a less-fortunate stranger.
Born and raised
in Vancouver, she is currently the Chief Executive Office and Chair
of Integrated Ferry Corporation, where the B.C. Super Ferry - the
largest ship ever to be built in B.C. - was constructed. Before
that Lucille Johnstone was President of the RivTow Group, in a career
that spanned 45 years.
Her involvement
in charitable organizations would be admirable even for someone
with extensive time to share.
This includes
present or past roles as chair of the Kwantlen College Fund Drive,
Founding Director and Chair of Sexual Abuse Recovery Anonymous,
and member of the Pacific Advisory Regional Council of Fisheries
and Oceans.
In addition,
Lucille Johnstone is or has been on the board of directors of numerous
organizations that include Grace Hospital, Vancouver International
Airport Authority, Expo '86, B.C. Place Ltd., and the Vancouver
Board of Trade, to name only a few.
Lucille Johnstone
is the recipient of the YWCA Woman of the Year Award and holds an
honorary doctorate from U.B.C.
In addition
to the big picture of community service and business acumen, Lucille
Johnstone is fondly known by many for the pearls of individual kindness
she so generously casts about her.
