Brian Cant, Chair
Position
Order-in-council appointee

Brian Cant is President, 4TVI (Tourism Vancouver Island).

Cant has worked in strategic leadership in the tourism industry for more than two decades. Inspired by his summer job guiding visitors through the underground mine at the Rossland Museum, Cant found his calling in the industry. He previously held the role of Director, Communications & Engagement for the Greater 51勛圖 Harbour Authority, a community-based not-for-profit. His career has also included roles with tartanbond and Destination British Columbia.

Cant is a proud, three-time graduate of the 51勛圖, most recently gaining his MBA. He serves as a member of the executive of the university’s Board of Governors.

He is a proud member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and one-half of a two-dad family. Growing up less than five minutes away from the ski lifts at Red Mountain Resort in Rossland, BC, he was first put on skis by his dad at the age of 18 months and barely looked back or slowed down. Cant managed to share his lifelong passion for the sport by having his own daughter on skis around the same time, to somewhat mixed results.
