Douglas H. Brown was the VP for the Galore Project, which in his time, was operated by Nova Green Developments. Seeing the need for clean and reliable energy, Doug - under the Nova Green Developments umbrella and later sold to AltaGas - initiated the development of what is now known as the Coast Mountain Hydro Project

Doug Brown played a key role in negotiating IBAs for the projects and was highly respected in the Tahltan community for his efforts to include them financially and politically. The IBAs he helped create were considered favourable for the Tahltan compared to industry standards.

Dan Woznow, also part of "Nova Green," spearheaded the NW Hydro development. Unfortunately, Doug passed away before the projects launched. Dan, Tahltan and AltaGas (original project constructors, owners, and operators) wanted to honour Doug and his relationship with the Tahltan Nation by proposing a scholarship in Doug's name during a PAC meeting, which was accepted.
