He is a settler and visitor on the traditional territory of the WSÁNEĆ (Saanich), Lkwungen (Songhees) and Wyomilth (Esquimalt) peoples. Tosh holds a MA in Human Security and Peacebuilding from Royal Roads University, where his research focussed on evaluating impacts of health and education development projects from a beneficiary perspective, in six remote Indigenous communities in Laos. He also holds a BA in Anthropology from the University of Victoria.
