Golden Heart Award honouree Peter R.B. Armstrong and Variety’s chairman of the board Dave McConachie.
More than 450 guests enjoyed an elegant evening honouring Peter R.B. Armstrong and celebrating his commitment to making a difference in our community. For over a decade, Armstrong has donated millions toward a wide spectrum of causes centred on community growth and child development. A leading figure in the tourism industry, Armstrong is well-known to British Columbians as the entrepreneur who built the world-famous Rocky Mountaineer rail tours, named by National Geographic as “one of the World’s Greatest Trips.”
Armstrong has donated over $3 million to more than 200 organizations, with a focus on education and medical research. Emceed by Peter Legge, the evening featured a three-course dinner, live entertainment and guest speakers, and raised over $400,000 for Variety.
The Golden Heart Award is Variety, The Children’s Charity’s most prestigious mark of distinction, honouring individuals and organizations that have made exceptional philanthropic contributions throughout British Columbia.
