In 2014 George moved from Vancouver to Therah Village, an intentional community on 160
acres of rainforest on north Galiano Island. He was seeking a sustainable lifestyle that included
growing food and collaborating with others to conserve this land and habitat. George has since
served as Chair and Director on the board of Therah Village Development Corporation.
George is a retired publisher, most recently as the Associate Director of UBC Press. He has also
served on the boards of Access Copyright (Canada) and the Association of Book Publishers of
BC.
