Casey Brennan

Casey holds a BA in Urban Studies and his graduate work focused on the importance of social networks and social capital in advancing environmental campaigns. Casey volunteered for Wildsight when it was the East Kootenay Environmental Society during the 1990s, and since becoming a program manager in 2002, he has played an instrumental leadership role in the efforts that lead to the B.C. government’s recent decision to permanently prohibit mining and oil and gas activity in the entire Flathead watershed. Casey continues to work toward the completion of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park through inclusion of the lower third of B.C.’s Flathead River Valley. Casey helps lead Wildsight’s campaign to connect wilderness along the spine of the Rockies through the reinstatement of the Southern Rocky Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Casey is involved in many local and regional groups such as Fernie Rotary and Fernie’s Official Community Plan Implementation Committee.
