Arthur Griffiths (businessman)

The Griffiths family, including Arthur, were inducted into the British Columbia Hockey Hall of Fame in 1995 under the builder category.

The induction noted "In addition to his duties as owner of the team, Arthur Griffiths was also actively involved at the league level as a member of the NHL's Marketing / Public Relations Committee.

On November 12, 1996, Griffiths sold his remaining interest in Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment, the entity that owned the Canucks and Grizzlies, to his Seattle business partner, billionaire John McCaw.

In that year he met Brenda Eng and George Jarvis, who had the idea and passion to create a children's hospice in the lower mainland.

Palliative care strives to support children and families by assisting them in fulfilling their physical, psychological, social and spiritual goals while remaining sensitive to personal, cultural and religious values, beliefs and practices.

"[13] On May 20, 2008, Griffiths announced plans to run for the BC Liberal nomination for the newly created Vancouver-West End provincial riding.

[14] However, due to Lorne Mayencourt's subsequent resignation as MLA of the defunct Vancouver-Burrard riding to run in the 2008 Canadian federal election, Griffiths ran in the ensuing by-election under the old boundaries, and was defeated by NDP candidate Spencer Chandra Herbert.
