CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF THE CMHF!
is most recent initiative was to put forward the concept of The Canadian Mining Hall of Fame as a means of honoring those who have contributed so much to the Canadian way of life and of publicizing those accomplishments to the general public. Brown served as chairman of the Hall for its first four years and continues as a director.
