For us in the Gallery it will be an early start of the Festival…..and an exciting one!!!

On Friday, July 12th, local Atlin author Kate Harris will be in the Gallery at 11 am to sign and sell her book: “Lands of Lost Borders”, A #1 national bestseller.

In Kate’s words: “The story is a travel narrative that is at once exuberant and meditative, wry and rapturous. Based on a bike trip on the historic Silk Road, the book weaves adventure and deep reflection with the history of science and exploration, exploring the limits and the wilderness of a world that can never fully be mapped.

“Lands of Lost Borders” won the RBC Taylor Prize, the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for literacy nonfiction, and the Banff Mountain Book Award for Adventure Travel, and is being translated into several languages”.

Leonard Patrick Sullivan 

February 15, 1954 – June 3, 2019 On Monday we lost a loving husband, Dad, brother and friend at the age of 65. In our hearts we will forever cherish the love and the memories.

Len was born in Calvert Newfoundland and was posted to many detachments in his career with the RCMP for over 30 years, Len and his wife Diane called Cranbrook home for the last 16 of those years. Len and Diane raised their wonderful sons Christopher (Calgary, AB) and Shawn (Melfort, Sask).

Len could be found enjoying long walks in the community forest or Idlewild Park, he loved coaching hockey in (Williams Lake, Atlin and Cranbrook, B.C) Len took pride refereeing minor hockey or being an umpire for minor baseball. Len loved his days on the greens of Cranbrook Golf Course or cheering on the former Kootenay Ice in his seasonal seats.

Len is survived by his wife Diane, son’s Christopher and Shawn, his mother Ida Sullivan, his 8 brothers; Jimmy, Colin, Fabian, Tommy, Craig, Blair, Ross and Rodney, and his 7 sisters; JeanAnne, Doris, Shirley, Monnie, Rhoda, Denise and Patrice. All of Newfoundland.

Len is predeceased by his father, Thomas Sullivan and his sister Lorraine Sullivan.

There will be a service for Leonard Saturday June 8th, 2019 at McPherson Funeral Chapel, at 2 pm. Len will be interred later in his hometown of Calvert Newfoundland.

Memorial donations can be made in Len’s honor to the Canadian Cancer Society http://www.cancer.ca/en/donate/?region=BC or the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation https://www.heartandstroke.ca/get-involved/donate Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
