Howard is CSB’s man on the West Coast of Canada, serving as Regional Director for British Columbia. He and his wife, Kathie, have two grown children and recently celebrated their son’s receiving the Herald of Christ, CSB’s highest honour.

There is always something (more accurately several somethings!) going on for BC Brigade Units to be involved with: from the Tough Guys Weekend campout to Brigade Camp BC; from the Director’s Cup to the Kickoff with the BC Lions; from Brigademen Retreats to Noncom Conferences; and all kinds of other activities. He has been involved in CSB in one capacity or another for over 30 years.

Kathie Pike

Kathie has been Howard’s better half since Aug. 21, 1982, and has worked with him in their “tent-making” furnace repair business for over 20 years. This partnership has made Kathie an invaluable part of CSB in British Columbia.

Kathie handles much of the mailing for CSB BC, proofreads most of Howard’s documents, and generally keeps CSB BC, and Howard, on track.

 

Kathie currently serves as a Girls Alive leader, has been a Pioneer Girls leader, and was a Pioneer Girl as a child.
