Mike was born and raised in Burnaby. He had an opportunity to move from the Lower Mainland to Cortes Island, a small island in Desolation Sound. He loved the water so much that he decided to become a scuba diver and a commercially licensed 60 ton boat captain. In 2005 when an opportunity at False Creek became available, he was ready for the challenge. Mike is also involved with the Pacific Coast Congress of Harbormasters and Port Managers (PCC) and has served as a Director, Vice President and President.

Mike has received, on behalf of the FCHA, both the Regional and National Environmental Stewardship Award presented by Small Craft Harbours, the PCC Environmental Stewardship Award, and the National Clean Marine Award. His facility is also the only 5 Anchor Rated Clean Marine Facility in BC.

Mike looks forward to passing along the information that he’s learned to those who share the same passion for the marine environment.

Keri Dybhavn is the General Manager of the Port Edward Harbour Authority.  She has been employed with the Port Edward Harbour Authority since September 2001 and became General Manager in 2012.  Keri manages the second largest Harbour Authority in Canada that sees the traffic of 1500-1800 vessels annually.

Born in the rainy coastal fishing town of Prince Rupert BC, Keri’s family roots are imbedded in the fishing industry as her father, grandfather and great grandfather were all fishermen. To Keri fishing was not just a job; it was a way of life.  

 The salt air and her family roots called her home in 2001; Prince Rupert is where Keri is raising six beautiful children.  Keri’s love of the ocean, outdoors and fishing is what drives her passion to be a positive impact on an organization that is here to support the fishing industry.
