Update of Events

letter to Bill Day from Barry Leach,
faculty member, Kwantlen College, dated
November 23, 1982:

I am happy to inform you of the following
events that have occured during the past
few months:

- the B.C. Provincial Museum has pub-
lished my book, Waterfowl on a Pacific
Estuary;

- the International Crane Foundation
based in Wisconsin has asked me to pre-
sent a paper at its International Sym-
posium at the Keoladeo National Park,
Bharatpur, India;

- the Federation of British Columbian
Naturalists has presented me with the
rare honour of its Outstanding Service
Award.

 

I feel that I cannot accept these honours
without full acknowledgement of the debt
I owe to Douglas and Kwantlen Colleges
and to you, George Wootton, Ken Moore,
Jim Doerr, and more recently, to Tony
Wilkinson for the generous support and
confidence extended towards me in the
work that has culminated in the results
listed above.

Many people have asked me of late if I
feel regret that successive finanacial
cuts have put an end to the Institutes.

I can only reply that I prefer to feel
gratified that we had a decade of such
far-ranging opportunity. Douglas College
provided the means to achieve perceptible
changes in public and government atti-
tudes towards the environment of the
lower Fraser River, and to contribute
towards the preservation of several val-
uable natural areas in the river's delta
and estuary. It is also gratifying that
in the international aid field we have
been able to establish a vocational
training fund that will contimue to be
of benefit to students in the villages
of India and Nepal in the years to come.
Few are so fortunate as to have the
chance to participate in several such

 

events.

Thea and I extend to you and the faculty,
staff, and students of Douglas our warmm-
est good wishes for the future on the
occasion of taking up occupancy of your
new building. Again, my deepest thanks
for your past support.

Yours sincerely,

Barry Leach
