Born Lily CHUNG Quon Dai, also known as Sandra CHONG and later upon marriage as Sandra KING, was born on November 24, 1922, in Vancouver, BC. Her father, Chung Gok Doh, was from Moy Kwok, [新會 Sunwui / Xinhui] county, in [廣東 Guangdong] province, and immigrated to Canada in 1892 with his family at the age of 9. He travelled back and forth between China and Canada, eventually marrying; he brought his wife to join him in Canada in 1914. Sandra’s father worked a variety of jobs throughout her childhood, including as a farmer in Burnaby, as a fisherman, and as a contractor for a cannery near Prince Rupert, but soon returned to Vancouver to start a family with his wife.

Sandra married a fellow Chinese Canadian, Louis Yee KING, who was born in Didsbury, Alberta. In WWII, Louis participated in Operation Oblivion, a secret operation led by the British army that used Chinese Canadians to infiltrate Sarawak in Malaya under the assumption that they would blend into the local population. Louis and the other Chinese Canadians involved in the operation hoped that their contribution would lead the Canadian government to extend equal rights to Chinese Canadians, recognize them as Canadians, and allow them to vote.

After the war, Louis began a poultry business in Vancouver called Visco Poultry. Sandra and Louis hoped to purchase a home and start a family, but they had a difficult time finding a home in Vancouver. Certain neighbourhoods in Vancouver had adopted restrictive housing covenants that banned the sale of homes to Asians, even though Sandra and Louis had been born in Canada. Sandra and Louis thus decided to build a home in West Vancouver. Although certain neighbourhoods in West Vancouver, such as the British Properties, employed similar restrictive covenants, the family was able to build a home in Dundarave in 1949. Their daughter, Leilani, was born a few years later.

Sandra and Louis divorced in 1960, and Sandra started employment in a company that worked with visiting dignitaries to support herself and her daughter. Most notably, she met the Prime Minister of Malaysia, who displayed a keen interest in her, and invited her to join him abroad. Sandra refused, since he was already married, and Sandra had no interest in becoming a secondary wife; she would remain single for the rest of her life. Her daughter, Leilani, recalled, “[she] enjoyed telling that story, as it was a reminder of how things could have been very different if she had chosen that path!"

Sandra worked in the head office of the accounting department of MacMillan Bloedel, a forestry company, until 1989, when she retired. After retiring, she moved from West Vancouver to Richmond to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren.

In the last six years of her life, Sandra had progressive dementia, and succumbed to pneumonia during the pandemic. She passed away on August 20, 2020, at the age of 97.

This organization was composed primarily of social democrats who opposed deportations of Japanese Canadians during World War II.

During World War II, defensive measures were taken on campus against the possibility of enemy attack, particularly from the air. Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities in Europe, a Civilian Protection Committee was appointed to organize Air Raid Protection (A.R.P.) throughout the province. A.R.P. wardens, established in all communities, received instruction in handling air raids, chemical warfare, and related subjects from faculty members of the University of British Columbia's Chemistry, Physics and English Departments. The outbreak of war in the Pacific in 1941 resulted in heightened concerns on campus about the possibility of a Japanese air attack.

CKOV Kelowna was established in 1928 by George Dunn, Bobby Johnston, Harry Blakeborough and James William Bromley Browne with the original call sign 10AY. The station broadcasted church services, plays, and performances by the Ogopogo Concert Club and was known as the Kelowna Amateur Radio Club. Significantly, it is recognized as one of British Columbia’s first radio stations. By 1931, it received a commercial license and 10AY switched to CKOV with the slogan “The Voice of the Okanagan.” The station had a firm grip on media in the Okanagan. It was a CBC Trans-Canada Affiliate by 1946 and it even began CHBC-TV in 1957, alongside CKOK Penticton and CJIB Vernon, although CKOV sold their shares in the late 1970s. Further, CKOV became the first licensed private radio network in Canada through obtaining CKCQ Quesnel in 1957, CKWL Williams Lake in 1960 and CKBX 100 Mile House in 1971.
Okanagan Broadcasters Ltd. (owned by the Browne family for 50 years) sold CKOV to Seacoast Communications Group Inc. in 1988, and by 1998, Jim Pattison Industries Ltd. acquired the assets for CKOV Kelowna from Seacoast. CKOV Kelowna moved to the FM band at 103.1Mhz in 2007 and as a tribute to the Browne family who aided in launching CKOV, the new station continued with the official CKOV call sign but identified on air as “B-103.” In 2010, the call letters were changed to CKQQ-FM and by 2017, the station was rebranded as Beach Radio 103.1 which provided Classic hits from the 80’s and 90’s.

One of the University of British Columbia's most distinguished chemists, Robert H. Clark, was born in Blythe, Ontario and received his university education at the University of Toronto (MA 1906) and the University of Leipzig (Ph.D. 1909). After teaching for seven years in American universities, he joined UBC's Department of Chemistry in 1916. Clark was appointed head of the department in 1927, which he held until his retirement in 1948.

Born in Vancouver, Robert James Clark completed his graduate work in Physics at McGill University and Canterbury. He returned to Vancouver and joined the University of British Columbia's Department of Physics in 1947 and remained active there until the early 1970s.

Born in Vancouver, Robert Mills Clark earned a B.Comm. (1941) and B.A. (1942) at UBC. He completed an M.A. (1944) and Ph.D. (1946) at Harvard University. Clark began his career at UBC as a lecturer in the Department of Economics in 1946. Specializing in provincial and municipal taxation, he wrote The Municipal Business Tax in Canada in 1952, and in 1959 his two-volume report, Economic Security for the Aged in the United States and Canada, was published by the federal government. Clark also served on three provincial commissions of inquiry on public finance issues. Actively involved in the university's administration, he was appointed as University Planner in 1966. Clark headed the Planning Office (later known as Academic Planning and then Institutional Analysis and Planning) until 1976. He also served on the UBC Senate and Board of Governors, the Vancouver School of Theology, and Regent College and was an active member of The Vancouver Board of Trade. He retired from the Department of Economics in 1985. In 1992 Clark was awarded the Confederation Medal by the federal government for outstanding service to the people of Canada. He died on 11 August 2007.

Betty Clarke Pearson is the daughter of John St.Claire Clarke.
