John Sibbald
Nominating Agency: Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
Mr. John Sibbald, President and Chief Executive Officer of the historic lakeside resort, The Briars, located in Georgina, Ontario has long been interested and involved in the conservation and preservation of the lake and land as well as historic buildings and landmarks. The Briars, a family-run business, is located on the shore of Lake Simcoe and has long been viewed as a stellar example of conservation of the local environment and the lake. Since his early years as a university student John has embraced the need for conservation, protection and preservation of the natural as well as the built environment. John's lifelong pursuit of environmentally friendly business initiatives includes:
- Caring for and managing the mature forests of pine, spruce and maple trees.
- Saving and preserving heritage buildings by finding new uses for them.
- The first major Ontario resort to ban indoor smoking.
- Implementing more environmentally friendly business practices (such as eliminating disposable cups, installing high-efficiency shower heads, energy efficient lights and encouraging guests to reuse towels and linens.)
- Forming a Green Team to generate environmentally friendly operational ideas.
Throughout the last three decades John has contributed to the local, provincial and national conservation movement. As Vice-Chair of the Ontario Parks Board, John was instrumental in leading policy development governing the protection and conservation of natural spaces. Shortly after his service on Ontario Parks Council John became the Governor of the Canadian Coalition on Acid Rain (CCAR) through which John and his colleagues lobbied both the Canadian and US Governments to pass legislation to restrict acid rain causing emissions. This ultimately helped lead to the passing of the US Clean Air Act in 1990. Through his environmental work at all levels, John was instrumental in bringing the provincial and federal governments together, resulting in the Ontario Government's 1985 LSEMS Report. John's environmental work has been recognized through numerous awards including the 1984 Ontario Bicentennial medal and the 2010 Lieutenant Governor's Ontario Heritage Award for Lifetime Achievement. John is a founding member of the Lake Simcoe Tourist Association, York Tourist Board and Lake Simcoe Arts Foundation. After a lifetime of passion and energy poured into the pursuit of environmental business practices and local habitat enhancement as well as national, and international leadership in environmental advocacy and policy development, the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation appointed John as an honourary lifetime member of its Board of Directors.
John Sibbald's lifelong passion for the environment has inspired all three of his sons and their families to continue their father's legacy. Through their business, John and his family have also dedicated a great deal of time to training and encouraging their many young staff to consider the impact of their actions on the lake and the surrounding environment.
Through his work in supporting conservation and environmental initiatives at all levels, as a business leader and a well respected member of the community John Sibbald exemplifies the meaning of Conservation pioneer.
