Administrative history
Walter Koerner incorporated the Cedar Lodge Society in 1969 and donated money, land, and other assets to enable it to carry out its mandate of operating a brain injury treatment facility known as the Skeleem Village Recovery Centre. The facility, located in the community of Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island, closed in 1986 due to changes in provincial government policy. In the late 1980s, Koerner gifted the property to the University of British Columbia, who assumed responsibility for the operation of Skeleem Village. The University held majority membership in the Society and the majority of the Board of Directors. Skeleem Village re-opened in 1992 as a post-acute brain injury rehabilitation programme and had a close working relationship with the UBC Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. However, in 2003 the facility was closed for financial reasons.
Custodial history
Records were maintained in the President’s Office and later by the Office of the University Counsel before transfer to the University Archives.
Scope and content
Fonds consists almost entirely of records documenting UBC’s administration of the Cedar Lodge Society and the Skeleem Village Recovery Centre – the only major item from outside that period is a copy of the Society’s original articles of incorporation from 1969. The records are arranged in three series – General, Board of Directors and Committees, and Subject Files – and include correspondence, minutes, reports, and legal documents. There is some overlap in the contents of the three series.
