DABC’s ED Helaine Boyd and Chair Jake Anthony receive BC’s Medal of Good Citizenship on behalf of Pam Horton
Last Friday, DABC Executive Director Helaine Boyd and DABC Chair Jake Anthony (pictured above, next to the Hon. Anne Kang, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport) were very honoured to accept BC’s Medal of Good Citizenship on behalf of Pamela Horton, who passed away earlier this year. The Medal celebrates British Columbians who have acted in a particularly generous, kind or selfless manner for the common good without expectation of reward.
Pam served on DABC’s board of directors for close to thirty years. She was also DABC’s first ever Executive Director, and remained an active monthly donor to DABC until her passing. Pam is remembered well for her principled determination in advancing disability rights in our province, over a number of decades.
We recently established a fund in Pam’s honour, in support of DABC’s Transition magazine. Read an earlier blog post to learn more about Pam’s legacy.
