I first met Cam a number of years ago when he was a Commissioner with the Canadian Red Cross (Manitoba Division). After he left the Red Cross we would see each other at various events held throughout the city. Cam was a kind person with a smile that could light the city. My deepest sympathy to his wife Myrna and his family. - Posted by: Rita Roeland-Borthwick (Friend) on: Mar 22, 2016
