Memorial Fund
to honor work of
Barry Leach

The challenges to our environment
around the world are challenges to our
human spirit. These challenges demand
more than a technical response—they
demand a change in our belief systems,
our attitudes.

Dr. Barry Leach

An internationally recognized
environmentalist and humanitarian, Barry
Leach was a master teacher and a
historian of considerable reputation. He
had a distinguished career at Douglas
College, where he was Director of
Enviromental and International Studies,
and more recently as an instructor at
Kwantlen University College.

Says Douglas College friend and
colleague Chris Johnson, “He was a
brilliant teacher. He could read a
telephone book in the classroom and
make it come alive.”

Barry lived his life as actively as he
taught his students. A gifted writer and
artist, he was also a driving force in the
establishment of a number of Lower
Mainland parks. Later, he became active
in the Trans Himalayan Aid Society and
other groups that reclaim land and settle
people in India and Tibet.

Barry believed that education and
training are essential to solving our
environmental problems. To honor his
work, Kwantlen is establishing the Dr.
Barry Leach Endowment Fund to assist
those pursuing studies in environmental
protection, history or international
relations.

You may already be contributing to a
fund in Barry’s memory, but if you would
like information about this new
endowment, please contact Chris Johnson
at local 5041.

If you would like to make a donation
directly, please send a cheque marked
“Dr. Barry Leach Endowment” to: The
Development Office, Kwantlen University
College, P.O. Box 9030, Surrey, BC,
V3W 2MB8. |
