Jonathan Veale

"Lifelong learning is a passion rather than a means to an end. Helping to make education more accessible to all who desire it is both a privilege and a responsibility that I'm embracing with my involvement with the North Island College Foundation."

Jonathan Veale has a very long history in the Comox Valley. Coming from a travelling military family that includes several educators, Jonathan recognizes how fortunate we are to live, work, and gain an education here. After finishing two undergraduate degrees from three distant universities, Jonathan chose the Comox Valley to raise his family, start his business, continue his education, and contribute to his community. Jonathan contributes to young people in many ways including financial giving from his business, and personally coaching and supporting children's sports. Jonathan is also very proud to have been a long term director and former president of the Comox Valley Community Foundation. Today, as a Director of the NIC Foundation, Jonathan is thrilled to utilize his skills from years of education and business for the continued advancement of the Foundation's goals.
