Herb Quan is an angler with a deep love for everything outdoors, especially fishing. As a founding member of the Lake Simcoe Fisheries Stakeholder Committee (formed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in 2007), a representative of the grassroots Ontario BASS Nation angling organization since 1997, and past president and current Youth Chair of the Aurora Bassmasters fishing club, Herb has a wealth of knowledge.

His love of angling has inspired him to work with young people and families to develop a passion for not only conservation but fishing as well. Herb has also participated in several road clean-ups, fisheries habitat restoration projects and shoreline erosion projects – graciously volunteering his time and expertise. Herb has joined other volunteers to plant native plants to help restore wetlands, cleared obstructions in a creek created by a busy beaver, helped with electrofishing monitoring and has worked to restore milkweed plants to encourage monarch butterflies to visit the area.

For well over two decades, Herb has been helping to conserve and protect the health of the Lake Simcoe watershed and its fisheries. His passion is inspiring and his tireless commitment, dedication and enthusiasm are second to none. Herb's efforts will have a long-lasting impact on our watershed, the fisheries, and the community of young people that will carry on his legacy for generations to come.
