September 22, 1940 - May 22, 2023 An MSW graduate from UBC, Cam was a quiet, compassionate, perceptive listener: as director of Social Services for Inuvik, he was ahead of his time in his recognition and encouragement of aboriginal programs for aboriginal children.

The Cabin: a beloved off the grid haven which he and his father-in-law built with help from family and friends. Islands: Saba, Orkney, Lopud, Haida Gwai, Isle De Madeleine, Kendal.
