    A highly popular Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia, he served as an inspiring example, particularly to new Canadians, urging them to join the mainstream of Canadian society and contribute to the life of their new country.

    Having prospered in the business world, he has quietly turned his imagination and generosity to supporting many community endeavours in British Columbia, particularly educational institutions. He is a strong proponent of cultural and ethnic intermingling, and an outstanding example of a new Canadian who took advantage of opportunities and now gives back many times over so that others may be encouraged to do the same.
