Peter John Alexander Cardew was born on August 6, 1939 in Guildford, England. He grew up in the rural village of West Horsley, Surrey, England. Some of his earliest childhood memories were of World War II. His father, an officer with the Royal Air Force, died in 1941 when his Spitfire was shot down. For a time, he moved into a safer refuge in the town of Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire during the war, then went on to public schools while his mother worked in Africa. From 1958 to 1964, Cardew attended the Kingston College of Art (now Kingston University). Prior to his completion of a Diploma in Architecture in 1965, he took a year off, from 1961 to 1962, to work on an exhibition pavilion with Max Bacher an architect in Stuttgart, before moving back to London. Following work for a number of small firms after his graduation, Cardew worked as a project architect with Roman Halter & Associates in London, England until 1966, when despite the offer of partnership at a young age, he decided to emigrate to Canada as a result of meeting his future wife, Carol Ringwood, who was from British Columbia. In 1966, the couple married and settled in Vancouver. They later welcomed a daughter, Savanna, before eventually separating.

His first Canadian job was a stint on the working drawings for Arthur Erickson’s MacMillan-Bloedel Building on Georgia Street. From 1967 to 1980, Cardew worked for Rhone & Iredale Architects, becoming a partner in 1974. As Rhone & Iredale was closing in 1980, Cardew established his own practice – Peter Cardew Architects. The projects undertaken by the firm were generally of a more institutional/cultural nature where the complexities of the projects demanded more innovative and creative solutions than those associated with repetitive commercial projects. He limited the number of projects taken on by the firm at any one time in order to ensure meaningful involvement by him as principal through all phases of design and construction. Over his career, Cardew designed schools, exhibition buildings for Expo ‘86 held in Vancouver, B.C., condominiums, private homes, office buildings, libraries, art galleries, retail establishments and furniture. Some of his employees who went on to establish their own successful careers include Russell Acton, Michael Kothke, Rob Grant, David Scott, and Elizabeth Shotton.

In 1967, Cardew became a member of the Architectural Institute of British Columbia and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. He was also active in the development of the city having twice, in 1978 and 1989, been Chairman of the City of Vancouver Urban Design panel, made up of members of related professions together with city planning officials to review all major projects in the downtown area. From 1980 – 1983, he served as a member of the Architectural Institute of British Columbia Urban Issues Committee. In 1983, he was elected Academician in the Art of Architecture to the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. From 1988 – 1989, Cardew served on the Board of Directors of the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver. He also served on various juries and advisory councils and served on the board of directors of the University of British Columbia’s School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.

Cardew taught as an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia, the University of Calgary, Dalhousie University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Washington State University and lectured extensively in North and South America and Europe.
Cardew’s work has been displayed in numerous exhibitions, with perhaps one of the most well- known ones Peter Cardew, Ordinary Buildings an exhibition of his drawings first held in the Charles H. Scott Gallery at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, B.C. and then in galleries across North America from 1996 to 2001.

Some of Cardew’s most well-known projects include the Crown Life Building (now known by its address at 1500 West Georgia), the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at the University of British Columbia, the Calgary Folk Music Festival Hall, the CN Pavilion at Expo ’86, the False Creek Townhouses, the Lignum Sawmill Offices, the Odlum Drive Live/Work Studios, Reigning Champ Stores, and the Yunesit’in First Nation (also known as Stone Band) School.

Cardew won numerous awards for his work, among them were the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Gold Medal for distinguished service to Architecture in 2012 (the profession’s highest honour); the Architectural Institute of British Columbia Lieutenant Governor’s Medal Award of Excellence in 2005; the Architectural Institute of British Columbia, Lieutenant Governor’s Medal for the David Wardle and Martha Sturdy House in 1999; the Architectural Institute of British Columbia, Lieutenant Governor’s Medal for the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in 1999; the Architectural Institute of British Columbia Lieutenant Governor’s medal for the Odlum Drive Live-Work Studios in 1999; the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Governor General’s medal for the Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery in 1999; and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Governor General’s medal for the False Creek Townhouses in 1982.

In 1927, veteran prospector, Fred Wells, formed the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mining Company with Dr. W.B. Burnett as president and O.H. Solibakke as director and fiscal agent. The mine, which originally included fifteen claims, was located about fifty miles east of Quesnel, on the northeast end of the Jack of Clubs Lake on Cow Mountain. The first adit driven by Cariboo Gold Quartz was at the 4375 foot level in 1927. Mill production began in 1933 at the rate of about sixty tons per day and by 1936 enough profit had been made to begin dividend payments. The mill reached its peak production of 350 tons per day at the end of the 1940s. The Cariboo Gold Quartz Mine was the first successful large scale gold mining operation in the Cariboo and its activities encouraged other companies to begin hard rock gold mining in the Cariboo region. This boom was called the second gold rush. In 1934 Newmont Mining Corporation began its Island Mountain operation across the Jack of Club Lake from the "Quartz". In 1954 the Cariboo Gold Quartz Company took over control of the Island Mountain Mine. However, by the end of the 1950s, rising labour costs and a static gold price resulted in the closure of Number One Mine on Cow Mountain and in 1967 the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mining operation shut down completely.

Patricia Carney was born in Shanghai, China, on 26 May 1935. She spent most of her childhood in the Kootenay region of British Columbia before earning a BA in economics and political science at the University of British Columbia in 1960. In the 1960s, Carney worked as an economic journalist writing weekly columns for the Vancouver Province and the Vancouver Sun.

During the 1970s, she returned to UBC, where she completed an MA in Regional Planning.

In the late 1970s, Carney accepted the Progressive Conservative Party's offer to run as an MP for the riding of Vancouver Centre. She was first elected for Vancouver Centre in 1980 and then re-elected in 1984. In her first term, Carney served as the Official Oppositions Energy Critic. In September 1984, when the Progressive Conservatives formed the government under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Carney was sworn to the Queen's Privy Council when she was appointed Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources in Mulroney's Cabinet. As Minister of Energy, Carney dismantled the Liberal's National Energy Policy (NEP), replacing it with new Agreements. In Canada's Atlantic region, Carney constructed the Atlantic Accord. Simultaneously, in western Canada, the Conservative energy policy took the form of the Western Accord, in which Carney instigated the Agreement on Natural Gas Markets and Prices. In June 1986, Carney was appointed Minister of International Trade and Minister Responsible for the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). During FTA negotiations with the United States, Carney worked closely with Simon Reisman, Canada's chief negotiator, and Joe Clark, Michael Wilson, and other members of the Mulroney Cabinet. In April 1988, Carney was appointed President of the Treasury Board, serving a short term before a brief retirement from politics due to a severe arthritic condition. She returned to federal politics when Prime Minister Mulroney appointed her to the Senate on 30 August 1990. She was a member of the following Senate committees: Aboriginal Peoples; Fisheries; Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources; and Foreign Affairs.

Deborah Carruthers is an inter-arts artist from Montréal, Quebec who engages in project-based practice. She earned a Diploma of College Studies in Social Science in 1980 from Vanier College in Montréal, before going on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Social Science in 1986 from Concordia University in Montréal.

In her life as well as her work, she is driven by an insatiable curiosity about what makes us tick, i.e. the who, what, where, why, when, and how. Topics of particular interest to her work include genetics, the environment, absence, and solastalgia (a form of mental or existential distress caused by environmental change). Her interest in genetics comes from being an identical twin who was often a research subject, thus making her want to know what was so compelling about her DNA. As for her interest in the environment, she grew up with a family log house on a lake in the Laurentian Mountains in Quebec that had no road access, electricity, or plumbing – a place she refers to as “heaven.” Having such a close connection to the wilderness, her father taught her to hike, fish, track, and identify birds and mammals. He also taught her that we are all inexorably connected to our environment and that the loss of any habitat can have a profound effect. These lessons are highly evident in her graphic scores and notes on slippages, her 2018 orchestral collaboration focused on climate change.

Carruthers maintains involvement with the artistic community through her various board positions. She represented CARFAC (Canadian Artists’ Representation/Le Front des artistes canadiens) – a non-profit corporation that acts as the national voice of Canada’s professional visual artists – on its Executive Board of Directors from 2010 to 2016. In 2010, she also became a member of the RAAV (L’association représentative des artistes en arts visuels du Québec) Board of Directors, on which she still serves; from 2012 to 2017, she also acted as RAAV’s vice president. In 2013, she joined the CARCC (Canadian Artists Representation Copyright Collective) Board of Directors, additionally serving as its Co-Chair from 2015 to 2018. Currently, she is a member of Berlin’s Society for New Music, Berliner Gesellschaft für Neue Musik e. V., and continues call Montréal home.
