IN MEMORIAM - Michael Barnes We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Michael Barnes, our WVHS Board member and Vice-Chair. A native of North Vancouver, a devoted family man, married to Geri for 55 years, with three children and four grandchildren, whom he adored, he was an enlightened citizen and a distinguished architect. Michael was employed by the architectural firm of Toby Russell Buckwell (today Ratio Architects). He sat on the Architectural Institute of British Columbia (AIBC) council from 1987 to 1991 and was named Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in 2010. He worked in many fields, notably in cultural and heritage projects. He designed the youth section of the West Vancouver Memorial Library blending the new and older sections of the library in a graceful synthesis. In Metro he participated in the design of the Burnaby Village Museum, the Emily Car Institute of Art and Design, the Burnaby city hall renovation, and the Sinclair Centre Redevelopment In addition to the fields of cultural and historic revitalization, he was active in the design of many public and institutional buildings and in the fields of infrastructure and transportation. In West Vancouver he sat on the Heritage Advisory Committee, the Advisory Design Panel, the Art Museum Advisory Committee, the Hollyburn Historical Society, and the West Vancouver Historical Society. An environmentalist, he believed strongly in the importance of heritage preservation, intelligent planning, and good design as the means of creating a healthy and attractive environment. He was a person devoted to family and community who spent his life contributing to the public good. He will be sorely missed. ....Prepared by Rod Day, April 2019 8
