It’s a significant contribution that will go a long way, says Brittany Vis, the museum’s executive director, in a news release Tuesday. Shaw, who passed away last year, was born in B.C.’s capital, where she lived for most of her life and was passionate about the community, having spent time on the library board and Community Arts council, states the release.
