Treasurer

Brian has lived in the White Rock area since 1969, and has been an active volunteer in many community organizations over the years. Transitioning to retirement in 2019, after a busy career in investment and asset management for Bentall Kennedy (Canada) LP., opened the door for new opportunities with the Auxiliary.

A legacy of social engagement, fundraising and strong ties and connection with the community attracted Brian to the Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary.

Director - Communications

Lyn has a passion for helping others and teaching. After retiring as a librarian she volunteered in the Yukon as a historical researcher for many years before joining the Aquarius Group of the PAHAS after returning to Vancouver. That was over 25 years ago. Lyn has held many positions in the group and helped with all facets of fundraising. Lyn is Chair of the Communications Team and Web Master plus editor of the Auxiliary in Action Newsletter. Communications allows Lyn to do what she loves most which is create beautiful images, with computers, cameras or paints. When not doing that she can be found teaching ESL or travelling to exotic destinations with her husband.

Marian, drawn by the Auxiliary motto “Having Fun Raising Funds,” joined in 2021 due to her passion for both. Giving back to her community and collaborating with dedicated volunteers is a privilege. Since moving from England to White Rock in 1990, she's made it her home.

Director - Gift Shop

Before emigrating to Canada, I was a police officer in England. I took up a similar line of work when I first came to Canada.
I’ve always enjoyed creativity and in particular women’s fashion and interior design. That led to a really enjoyable career in several retail businesses.
I also have had the pleasure of owning my own bed-and-breakfast business…. I met many fascinating people, some of whom I’m still in contact with today.
I’ve been extremely fortunate to travel to many places in the world, where I have made deep connections and lasting friendships. I still love to travel and entertain.
I have been volunteering for more than fifteen years. It’s heartwarming to be able to give back to the community that I live in.
In the words of Helen Keller “Alone, we can do so little. Together we can do so much.”
We are the Auxillary at Peace Arch Hospital.
