Odlem Brown Ltd.

Adopted Trail: Kerry’d Away | Vedder Mountain, Chilliwack

For almost 100 years, Odlum Brown Limited has been an independent, full-service investment firm committed to supporting local communities across BC. They have a remarkably extensive history of community service. “We invest in the communities where our clients and team members live and work,” says Odlum Brown President and CEO Debra Doucette (Hewson). “Community involvement is in our firm’s DNA; it was part of our founders’ vision nearly 100 years ago and remains a core value of Odlum Brown today. Our team members are passionate about supporting their communities, and they give back in a variety of ways.”

Generations have benefited from Odlum Brown’s community support, and they remain committed to this vision for generations to come. “As a firm, we strive to partner with organizations that share our commitment to making an impact on our community, now, and for generations,” affirms Ms. Doucette.

Odlum Brown’s impact is also far reaching. In addition to partnering with FVMBA, Odlum Brown also supports the Chilliwack Fraser Rotary Club and sponsors over 150 non-profit organizations and events annually. With branches located in Vancouver, Kelowna, Victoria, Chilliwack, Courtenay and Langley, Odlum Brown’s service within the community impacts many cherished regions of this beautiful province. Their community involvement and philanthropic culture have given Odlum Brown a reputation for integrity and respect in the communities in which they work and serve. Nationally, Odlum Brown has been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, an honour that has remained with the firm for 22 consecutive years, and as one of Canada’s Most AdmiredTM Corporate Cultures. In 2020, Odlum Brown was also the recipient of a Canada’s Volunteer Award in the Business Leader category for British Columbia and the North.

Odlum Brown has graciously chosen to sponsor Kerry’d Away on Vedder Mountain, “as a firm, we value the communities where we work and play,” says Chilliwack-area Portfolio Manager Michael Woods. “The FVMBA plays an integral role in building strong communities through trail infrastructure and promoting the use of these community assets.” This beautiful trail is designated with a blue difficulty rating, single track trail type, moderate physical rating and is suitable for mountain biking, e-biking, hiking – and for those dog lovers – a dogs allowed policy!

The funds donated by Odlum Brown go directly to enabling a trail team to tend the trail and keep it in optimal condition, not only for their team members and clients to enjoy, but also for you, the community, as a whole.
