Longtime White Rock resident Vin Coyne was among members of the B.C. mining industry recognized this month for their fundraising contributions to BC Children’s Hospital.
For the past 20 years, Coyne, who received the Freedom of the City in 1996 after serving as a council member since 1975, has chaired and served as master of ceremonies for a major hospital benefit event – sponsored by the BC Mining Suppliers Association.
The B.C. mining industry donated more than $2 million to the hospital’s recent Miracle Weekend, which raised a total of $17.9 million for children across the province.
