Norma Dallas’ work warrants recognition for “Lifetime Achievement.” She has single-handedly developed and run, for over 30 years, the seaside corner of Bowen, including visitors’ first impressions and Bowen’s most interesting little shops. She is a Bowen history buff, displaying Bowen’s history and enthusiastically embracing heritage themed museum events, Steamship Days, and the Dock Dance. She has also chaired the Bowen Island Recreation Commission, which was instrumental in securing space in the Old General Store for mothers and children to gather. This later evolved into Bowen’s first day care. As she retires, the legacy she has created will forever inspire those on the island.
