He is best known for his calm demeanour, sense of humour, and dependability. 

Local business owner Terry Brown is being recognized for more than 24 years of protecting the interests of the construction industry.

His efforts continued with his roles on the BCCA council of Construction Associations, Canadian Construction Sector Council, Canadian Construction Documents Committee, and the Workers Compensation Board of BC.
