Theatre to be renamed for late
avid arts patron

On March 14 the Performing Arts ‘Theatre will be re-christened
the Laura C. Muir Performing Arts Theatre. Muir was a relative
of a current Douglas College staff member whose family has
established an endowment fund in memory of this remarkable
woman. The fund will be used to create an annual award for
‘Theatre, Stagecraft and Music students.

During her life Muir was an avid patron of the arts and
oversaw the production of numerous theatre productions in the
communities where she lived and worked. She was also a strong
believer in the value of education. She held a Bachelor of Arts
from the University of Saskatchewan, a Bachelor of Literary
Interpretation from Emerson College in Boston and a Masters
Degree in Speech Pathology from Washington State University.
In 1954 she graduated from United College in Winnipeg and
became one of the first women ordained in the United Church
of Canada. She taught speech therapy at Mount Royal College
in Calgary before becoming an associate professor in education
at the University of Calgary, where she worked until her
retirement in 1978. Muir died last year at the age of 93.

The naming ceremony takes place Friday, March 14 from 2:15-
