William Culham Woodward, also known as Billy Woodward and Willy Woodward, (April 24, 1885 – February 24, 1957)[1][2] was a member of a successful merchandising family in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Heir to the Woodward's department store chain founded by his father Charles A. Woodward in 1891, he started out in 1907 as a bookkeeper for the store, ultimately rising to become company president in 1937 upon his father's death.[3][2] He was succeeded in that capacity by his son, Charles N. "Chunky" Woodward in 1956.[4]

Among the many other positions Woodward held were Charter Member of the Board of the Bank of Canada from its founding in March, 1935; President of the Vancouver Board of Trade; Life Governor of the Vancouver General Hospital; Founder and Patron of the Vancouver Little Theatre. During World War I, he served overseas in the First Canadian Heavy Artillery.[2] Woodward was, like his father, a member of the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon of the International Order of Freemasonry.[1]

Woodward served as the 16th Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia from 1941 to 1946.[5]
