Lisa Lapointe is recently retired after a 30 year career with the BC Public Service, where she served most recently as BC's chief coroner from 2011 to early 2024. She is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award for her dedication and expertise to public service, and led the Coroners Service to receive the inaugural Premier's Award for Evidence-Based Design in 2018 for its analysis and timely reporting of data on the province's illicit drug overdose deaths. Under her leadership, the Coroners Service was the first provincial agency to sign a Declaration of Commitment to Cultural Safety and Humility with the province's First Nations Health Authority. She has served as chair of the Forum of Chief Coroners and Chief Medical Examiners of Canada, and the BCIT Forensic Sciences Program Advisory Committee. She is passionate about the importance of evidence and evaluation in the development of public policy and legislation, and particularly in the province's response to the Drug Toxicity Public Health Emergency. She is a spouse, mother, and grandmother, an avid reader, and loves cycling, walking and hiking on the rural paths near her home in Central Saanich.
