A friend and biographer of George Orwell, and a friend to the Dalai Lama, Woodcock became the first author to receive Freedom of the City from Vancouver City Council. Here, as well, Woodcock edited Canadian Literature, the first publication entirely devoted to Canadian books. Here he lived as "a man of free intelligence" from 1959 to 1995 with his wife Ingeborg, raising funds for two charities they founded-Tibetan Refugee Aid Society and Canada India Village Aid-while writing and editing approximately 150 books.
