It's with great sorrow that the staff and board of the David Suzuki
Foundation post this message about Jim Fulton. The former Executive
Director of the DSF passed away on December 21st, 2008. Jim will be
buried on Haida Gwaii in northern B.C. in a private family ceremony.
A public memorial service is planned for February. We will post the
details as soon as they become available.
It's a testament to Jim's leadership, charm, and exuberance that so
many people have contacted us to express their grief and support. A
passionate environmentalist, activist, and leader, Jim leaves an
incredible legacy. His family and friends remain in our thoughts and
prayers.
