As a boy, he was an active Boy Scout and, by age seventeen, was a big game guide. After serving in World War I, Brewster established the first permanent camp at Lake O'Hara for the Canadian Pacific Railway.

In the 1930s, he became involved in skiing explorations in the Assiniboine, Skoki and Sunshine areas.
