Donor Story: Audrey Williams

Audrey Williams was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2011 as the province’s first female Olympic figure skating judge. Boundless energy, smiling and styling in equal quantities, Williams mentored dozens of individuals over the years, many of whom rose to prominent roles at the sport’s provincial, national, and international levels. A huge believer in volunteerism and giving back to her sport what she got out, Williams served on countless provincial and national committees ranging from skater development to official development to judging. Williams passed away in 2022. As a way to continue giving back to BC sport beyond her lifetime, Williams left a significant legacy gift in her will to the BC Sports Hall of Fame. The Hall is currently working on a plan to further honour Williams’ legacy in inspiring current and future youth in BC.
