The British Columbia Division recognizes the vital role its advisory boards play in shaping The Salvation Army’s mission and initiatives. One of the most remarkable leaders within this group is Bruce Hallsor, who has recently stepped down as chair of Victoria’s Hope in the City luncheon committee. His dedication and vision have left an indelible mark on this event.
Bruce has been instrumental in the success of the Hope in the City luncheon, a key fundraising event that brings together community members to support Salvation Army programs. From the very first event in 2018 at the Roundhouse at Bayview Place in Victoria, Bruce’s leadership has been evident. His unwavering commitment to the Army’s cause and his ability to engage others have helped raise much-needed funds and awareness for those served.
As chair, Bruce fostered a collaborative environment, encouraging board members to share their insights and expertise. His firm, Crease Harman Law, has been a steadfast sponsor of the luncheon, demonstrating his commitment to making the community a better place.
Lieut.-Colonel Jamie Braund, divisional commander, recently presented Bruce with a stunning wall hanging created by artist Nelson McCarly from Lytton, B.C., representing the wolf. As Lieut.-Colonel Braund stated, “Bruce exemplifies the qualities of strength, resilience and leadership that inspire us all to strive for greatness.”
The British Columbia Division is grateful for Bruce’s years of service and the strong foundation he has laid for the Hope in the City luncheon; his legacy will continue to inspire us as Nichola Wade is welcomed as the new chair. With a strong commitment to community service and a passion for helping those in need, Nichola is well-equipped to carry on the great work initiated by Bruce. Her experience in the public sector and dedication to social issues will enhance efforts to support vulnerable individuals and families in the community.
