We tell your stories well
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Family stories are like leaves on a tree
Each one is unique and irreplaceable, but guaranteed to disappear with time.
Your Living Legacy understands the importance of family stories, and we are dedicated to protecting them.
Our professional interviewers uncover, capture and craft the stories that define the lives of the people we love.
WHO WE ARE
We are passionate about protecting the past
Stories are the stuff of life.
DEAN BROUGHTON
And the best storytellers are the people who’ve learned to listen to, observe and shape everyday accounts into memorable narratives: journalists.
My name is Dean Broughton, and I’m a Vancouver-based journalist with 28 years of experience.
I’ve had the privilege of working with many fabulous journalists over my career and have recruited them to help tell your personal story.
I was afraid that I couldn’t find anything real and important to share but Dean was so amazing, his patience and questions sparked memories and conversations I wasn’t expecting. Before I knew it my story was spilling out.

I learned a lot about my father through this process. The folks at Living Legacy posed questions I would never have thought to ask about my dad. It was enlightening. My dad is not a man of many words and his response to seeing the completed version was simply ‘Wow’
