BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Larry Thomas

Fire Chief, Surrey Fire Service
Chair,
Director since 2006

“I grew up in Surrey, worked in Surrey my entire life, and have a great passion for Surrey as a community. I have observed dramatic growth in the city’s population over the past few decades. I give my time to the foundation board of directors because I believe a thriving community must have strong healthcare services and strong healthcare advocates. The foundation provides amazing opportunities to enhance healthcare for Surrey and the residents south of the Fraser River.”

Jacy J. Wingson, KC

Lawyer, McQuarrie Hunter
Vice-Chair,
Director since 1997

“I was drawn to volunteer for the Surrey Hospitals Foundation Board during the Children’s Health Centre campaign. I was compelled to do so to ensure that families south of the Fraser River with children who needed hospital care would not also have to bear the burden of significant travel, while still having to attend to the day-to-day needs of the rest of their families.

The Foundation plays a vital role in ensuring that the equipment and programs available for residents are quite simply ‘state of the art’. It is the difference between providing something acceptable and something exceptional, so that Surrey is a leader in the region in providing care to residents south of the Fraser River. The parallel growth between this region and the foundation over the years is truly inspirational.“

Jason Boyer

Treasurer,
Director since 2025

“I felt a calling to serve an organization supporting life-changing health care. As a resident of Surrey, I see the need for innovative, life-changing health care for the families and residents in my local community. As a professional accountant and long-serving board member of other charities, I hope that my financial and business expertise will benefit the board.

I’m excited to work with the tremendous team at SHF and to collaborate with the all-star finance committee! Ultimately, I hope to find ways to make a lasting impact in the community.”
