- Colleen McCrory (1949/1950 – July 1, 2007) was a Canadian environmental activist. She was born in New Denver, British Columbia by the light of a Coleman lantern to Patrick and Mabel McCrory. She was raised in New Denver BC, with 8 brother's and sisters. She had three children, Sean, Rory, and Shea. McCrory founded the Valhalla Wilderness Society, a British Columbia environmental group, in 1975. McCrory funded her campaign at first through a small clothing store in New Denver. However, a three-year boycott by loggers forced her out of business in 1985 and forced her deep into debt. She was awarded the Governor-General's Conservation Award in 1983 and the IUCN's Fred M. Packard Award in 1988. In 1992, she was named to the United Nations' Global 500 Roll of Honour and awarded a Goldman Environmental Prize. She ran as a candidate for the Green Party in the 2001 British Columbia provincial elections. McCrory's efforts helped lead to the creation of:
* Valhalla Provincial Park in the Kootenay region of British Columbia
* Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site in the Queen Charlotte Islands
* Goat Range Provincial Park in the Selkirk Mountains
* Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary and the Spirit Bear Conservancy in the Great Bear Rainforest on the central coast of British Columbia McCrory died of a brain tumor at home in Silverton, British Columbia in 2007, aged 57. (en)
