Over almost four decades, Peter M. Brown turned a tiny company with few assets and no reputation into the largest independent investment firm in the country. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canaccord eventually had offices all over the world and, when he stepped down, a market capitalization of well over a billion dollars.
Peter M. Brown learned firsthand about giving back to the community from his father, Ralph. His own business achievements, philanthropic endeavours and community service have earned him countless honours and distinctions. “We live in the best place in the world,” he says, “and I do what I can to help make it even better.”
Through the Peter and Joanne Brown Foundation, the couple support charitable causes and nonprofit organizations that build community and pave the way to a brighter future for British Columbians. “I love this city and this province,” says Peter. “I want to see them become the best they can be.”
