The extended reach of May Brown’s mentorship to citizens young and old is a testament to her extraordinary contribution to life in Vancouver and British Columbia. For the past 50 years May has served her community in every imaginable capacity. Whether during her tenure as a city councilor, a VSO board member, a Camp Decca founder and director, or as an ambassador and role model for the YWCA, her legacy to each is a healthier, more accessible, kinder and more equitable existence. Canadians and British Columbians have honoured May Brown’s achievements over the years and yet her commitment and contributions never wane. At 87, May Brown continues to be dedicated to her community with an ageless nobility that inspires us all.
