Jack Anderson, President
Jack holds an undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Architecture, University of Manitoba (1978) and then proceeded with post - graduate studies in “Ecological Community Design” at York University in the early 1980’s.
His interest in urban and community design lead to employment in the first Planning Department in the City of Nanaimo and later as a rural planner with the Regional District of Nanaimo. He has over 15 years of government service including several years for the Province of B.C., Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing. He is registered with the Canadian Institute of Planners and the Planning Institute of British Columbia.

His deepest passion is in working with clients to illustrate how sustainable planning and green design can not only serve their personal interest but also the health of our planet.
Dale Stephens
Given the gift of cabinetmaking skills at an early age by his father, Dale went on to study Art and Design at Malaspina College, and later at the Alberta College of Art. The marriage of these two abilities led to the formation of a sash and door business then to a design/build company based in the interior of British Columbia.
Working with clients from the early concept stages of their projects, he was able to use his visualization skills, coupled with his love of detailed carpentry work to take on construction projects in the Heli-ski Industry, Restaurant/Pub and Hospitality Industry, and Private residences, from vision to completion.
Dale moved to the coast joining Anderson Greenplan Ltd. in 2003, bringing over 25 years of experience in Design/Build. Here he has combined the Greenplan philosophy of environmentally sensitive design with his own pursuit of knowledge in modern materials and construction methods.
