David Slade – former President of the BC Groundwater Association
David Slade was born and raised in the Cowichan Valley and spent his working life as a water well driller and partner, now retired, in the third generation well drilling firm, Drillwell Enterprises, located in Duncan. In this capacity, David served for 12 years on the executive of the BC Groundwater Association, including terms as President and Vice President.
David is a founding member and treasurer of the Cowichan Watershed Board and his ongoing community services includes 26 years on the Board of Trustees for the Mill Bay Fire Department, Vice Chair of Friends of Rails to Trails Vancouver Island and Secretary of the Thetis Island Port Commission.
David and his partner of more than 40 years, Kelly, live on a small farm in Cobble Hill from which he practices his passion for sustainability and action on Climate Change. David and Kelly are so grateful to call the Cowichan Valley home and fortunate to have their four children and seven grandchildren all living in parts of this paradise on Southern Vancouver Island.
