Chris Woodward (1985 - 1988)
Chris Woodward was the tenth deputy
minister (1985-1988). His
introduction to municipal governance
came in the field. In his early years
at the ministry, he travelled
throughout the province to
help officials in small
municipalities draft by-laws and
file financial returns. In addition
to his on-the-job training, Woodward
completed the University of British Columbia Municipal
Education course and was certified
by the Board of Examiners.
Woodward spent his career with the
department and retired after 37 years
of service. In 1967, he became the director of the
new administration division. He was
the assistant deputy minister from
1974-1981, the inspector of
municipalities from 1981-1985, and
deputy minister from 1985-1988.
On June 7, 1988, Minister Rita
Johnston thanked him in the
legislature for his many years of
public service.
