The Memorial Room, dedicated to the pioneer physicians of British Columbia, was the gift of Mr. P. A. Woodward in honour of his father Charles Woodward, founder of the former department store which bore his name. Items of interest include:

  • Tapestries depicting the Masters of Spirit (on display) and Masters of Science
  • Plaques listing pioneer physicians of British Columbia
  • Display cases - Provided by a grant from the Mr and Mrs P.A. Woodward's Foundation. These cases currently display surgical instruments and medical artifacts and bring the history of science and medicine to the present.
