Derrick Humphreys

Derrick Humphreys (1913-2006) was the former mayor of West Vancouver. His memoir of life in office offers the finest published account to date of the ins and outs, the personalities, and the bare-knuckled fights that have marked the politics of North and West Vancouver for over a decade. Even into his 80s, Humphreys still played a part in municipal politics, helping seniors fight for their rights and for the amenities they so clearly require.
