A message from the TRIUMF Board:
The TRIUMF Board of Governor’s is pleased to announce that Dr. Lisa Kalynchuk, Vice-President Research & Innovation at the University of Victoria, has been elected Chair of the Board. Dr. Kalynchuk succeeds Angus Livingstone, who has completed his term as Chair after four years of dedicated service and leadership.
Since his appointment to Board Chair in 2021, Livingstone has stewarded the Board through several periods of transition and renewal following TRIUMF’s incorporation, including the development of TRIUMF’s current 5-Year Plan 2025-2030. His steady leadership helped strengthen governance, build meaningful partnerships, and ensure that TRIUMF has remained focused on its mission of advancing science for the benefit of Canada and the world. The Board is deeply grateful for his commitment and contributions.
Kalynchuk has served as Vice-Chair of the Board since 2021 and steps into the role with a wealth of experience and long-standing commitment to TRIUMF and wider Canadian science community. As Chair, she will help steer TRIUMF through its next chapter, supporting the lab as it prepares for long shutdown, advances operational excellence, and continues building national and international partnerships.
“We are very pleased to welcome Lisa as our new Board Chair,” said TRIUMF Executive Director, Dr. Nigel Smith. “We will continue to leverage the leadership, vision, and passion for our science she has provided as Vice-Chair as we build on our strengths and pursue new opportunities. At the same time, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Angus for his extended and impactful service, and wish him the very best.”
