Clark Finch

Clark Mackenzie Finch was a businessperson and settler credited with being the founder of Fort St. John, British Columbia. He owned a store, the C.M. Finch General Merchandise Farm Utilities Store, which was built in 1929. The town eventually developed around it. He also constructed a government building, the first one in Fort St. John. He donated ten acres (four hectares) of land for a hospital in Fort St. John, the first one there. He was elected President of the local hospital association. He died in 1945.

C.M. Finch Elementary School in Fort St. John is named in his honour.
