Gordon Gibson, Sr.

Who is Gordon Gibson, Sr.?

Gordon Gibson Sr. was a prominent business leader and politician in British Columbia. He represented Lillooet from 1953 to 1956 and North Vancouver from 1960 to 1966 in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia as a Liberal.

Gibson was a millionaire timber baron whose nickname was "Bull of the Woods" due to his loud lumberjack's voice. He was dismissed as a rough, hard-drinking logger who had made it rich, but was loved by many small loggers as being one of the few people to be interested in them over the interests of big business.
