It is with great sadness that Marjory

She was predeceased by her loving and beloved husband Russell
Mack McPHERSON in 1974. Chris was the youngest child of John

two brothers, James (in infancy) and Albert, and three sisters,
Marjory LAWRENCE,
Ivy
McCORMICK and Olive

by a number of nieces and nephews and their families, who will
miss "the Matriarch".
Chris was a legal secretary for many years before becoming employed
by the former Township of North Dorchester, as Deputy Clerk and
Deputy Treasurer. Upon her retirement she continued her involvement
with the Municipality, from 1988 to 1994. First as Deputy Reeve
and then by acclamation to Reeve. She was involved for many years
with the Central Board of the Dorchester United Church, was a
past President of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Donnybrook Branch
of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 513, and served on the board
of directors of the London Middlesex Children's Aid Society for
1988 to 1994 and the Peel Region Board of Children's Air Society
from 1994-1997. Chris had taken a keen interest in politics at
all levels. She also loved music from a very early age. At Chris's
request there will be no visitation. A Memorial Service to celebrate
her life will be held at the Dorchester United Church, 4100 Catherine
St. Dorchester on Thursday, March 31, at 11 a.m. with Reverend Art
CHOLMONDELEY officiating. If desired donations to the Dorchester
United Church or to the Children's Aid Society of Middlesex London
would be very much appreciated by the family. (Bieman Funeral
Home, Dorchester in charge of arrangements). When I come to the
end of the road and the sun is set for me I want no rights in
a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul set free. Miss me a little
but not too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the
laughter and joy we shared and lovingly let me go.

Leonard GERTLER,
Urban
Planner (1923-2005)
University of Waterloo teacher was a founding father of town
planning in Canada, writes Sandra
MARTIN.
His environment-first
strategy 'made a difference to the quality of our lives and our
communities'
By Sandra MARTIN,
Saturday,
December 17, 2005, Page S11
A holistic and strategic thinker, Leonard (Len)
GERTLER was one
of the founding fathers of urban planning in this country. He
became interested in cities as a researcher and scriptwriter
for the National Film Board in the late 1940s and went on to
write a landmark report on protecting Ontario's Niagara Escarpment
and to serve as a policy adviser to Pierre Trudeau's Ministry
of Urban Affairs. A pioneer in co-operative and sustainable development
abroad, he involved his students, beginning in 1970, in projects
in Indonesia, Jamaica, India, Japan and Uzbekistan.
Historically, planning in Canada was undertaken and taught by
people trained in Britain or the United States. Prof.
GERTLER,
who worked as a planner in Edmonton, Toronto and the Saint John
River Valley in New Brunswick before he became the founding director
of the School of Urban and Regional Planning at the University
of Waterloo, brought a Canadian perspective to the classroom.
"Len was Canada's guru of environment-first planning for broad
geographic regions. He wanted our cities to be cities [and to
work for people's well-being] and he wanted the countryside --
the farmlands, woodlands and wetlands -- to stay countryside,"
said Linda
PIM, a conservation policy analyst with Ontario Nature.
"He was able to connect the key elements of planning theory and
practice in a way that resonated with me [and many other students]
and stayed with me throughout my career," said David
WITTY, who
studied with Prof.
GERTLER at U of W in the early 1970s and is
now dean of architecture at the University of Manitoba. Prof.
GERTLER "brought social, ecological, economic and physical components"
to planning in a way "that demanded respect."
Mark SEASONS, who was a doctoral student in the mid 1980s and
is now an associate professor of planning and associate dean
at the U of W, described him as "a man of few but very carefully
chosen words," with "a keen intellect and insights." He did not
"suffer fools gladly," but "if you gained his respect, he became
a loyal friend and life-long supporter."
Prof. GERTLER's passion for planning infected not only his students,
but one of his own sons. "Len never cajoled or coaxed me," Meric
GERTLER, now professor of geography and planning at the University
of Toronto, said in a eulogy at his father's funeral. Instead,
he felt an "inexorable pull" toward planning because his father's
work was "so damned interesting." It made "a difference to the
quality of our lives and our communities at a time when public
interest in 'the environment' and all things 'urban' was enjoying
its first real flowering in this country."

GERTLER was the youngest of three children
of Carl Hiam
GERTLER and his wife Gertrude
(SLOVER). The
GERTLERs
and the SLOVERs had immigrated before the First World War from
what was then Austro-Hungary, with the
SLOVERs settling in Ottawa
and the GERTLERs working on farms in an Irish settlement outside
Montreal.
Gertrude and her brother had opened a store in the market in
Ottawa and Hiam and his brothers started a furniture manufacturing
company called Atlas Bedding in Montreal. Mr.
GERTLER always
hoped one of his sons would join in the family business, but
it didn't work out that way.
His eldest son, Maynard
GERTLER, a Roosevelt New Dealer, studied
and taught economic history in the United States and Britain
before returning to Canada and founding Harvest House, a Montreal
publishing firm that specialized in translating the fiction of
Québécois writers (such as Jacques Ferron, Anne Hébert and Yves
Thériault) and in producing books on social and economic topics.
Len was seven years younger. Still, he was "my best friend from
the time he was 12 years old," said Maynard
GERTLER in a telephone
conversation from his home in Montreal. Len was both artistic
and athletic. He wrote plays, but he also played baseball and
football, skied and trained as a long-distance swimmer.
Like his older brother, Len went to Queen's University to study
economics and political science. In his third year, he became
the founding editor of a publication called Public Affairs, soon
renamed the Queen's Commentator. He emerged with an honour's
degree in 1946 and an active interest in socio-economic and political
issues.
During summers he found work (through a Montreal friend) with
John GRIERSON at the National Film Board, which was then headquartered
in Ottawa. After graduation, he joined the staff of the World
in Action unit directed by Mr.
GRIERSON's
Disciple,
Stuart
LEGGE.
He was researcher and scriptwriter for The Challenge of Housing
and another film on the evolving National Capital Plan for Ottawa.
His script was too outspoken for the National Capital Commission
and he was banished from the project.
Dejected, he headed back to Montreal, where fate changed his
future both romantically and professionally. In his parents'
house, he met Anicka (Anita)
BIRNBAUM, a Holocaust survivor from
the tiny town of Svalava, Slovakia. In early teens she had been
incarcerated in Auschwitz with the rest of her family. Anita
and one sister were all that was left of their family when the
Russians liberated the camp. She made her way to England, where
she worked as a dental technician and used leftover bits of medical
modelling clay to make sculptures.
Len's father, who was on the board of the Jewish Immigrant Aid
Society, sponsored her to come to Canada. "She only weighed about
60 pounds," recalled Maynard
GERTLER. "My family sent her to
l'École des métiers du meuble, which was the famous art school
in Montreal. She studied sculpture and graduated at the top of
the class and went on to be an excellent sculptor."
Anita and Len were married in the summer of 1948. The following
year, discouraged by the National Capital Commission debacle
at the film board, Len
GERTLER went back to school and enrolled
in a master's program in economics at the University of Toronto,
studying under Harold
INNIS and Tom
EASTERBROOK. He was thinking
of going further in his studies, but his older brother said:
"Don't go into economics, that's theology. Go into planning."
Coincidentally, McGill had opened its graduate department of
planning in 1950, the year he graduated from the University of
Toronto. Encouraged by a friend who was already in the program,
he enrolled and graduated with a diploma in 1951 and went on
to a job in Edmonton as a senior planner (1951), and then as
director of the Edmonton District Planning Commission (from 1952
to 1957), one of Canada's first regional planning agencies. He
helped develop a workable concept of regional development during
the exploration/development boom of the 1950s.
Next stop was Toronto, where he was senior planner and then deputy
commissioner of planning from 1957 to 1964, working on a waterfront
development plan among other projects. He left municipal government
to establish a planning consultancy practice for Acres Research
and Planning Ltd. in Niagara Falls.
Two years later, he was invited to help establish the School
of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Waterloo
and became its founding director. The university administration
decided that he couldn't be a full professor because he lacked
a doctorate, "the magic ticket," as Len
GERTLER described it.
If he were good enough to be the founding director of the school,
he should be qualified enough to deserve a full professorship,
he wrote in his memoir Radical Rumblings: Confessions of a Peripatetic
Planner (2005). "Now I know that this betrayed ignorance of the
ways of academia," he wrote. "But that very ignorance stiffened
my back and the University conceded."
In 1967, the Ontario government of John Robarts, worried about
the effects of urban sprawl, mining and recreational skiing on
the natural habitat, asked him to carry out a study of the Niagara
escarpment. A year later, Prof.
GERTLER produced a "seminal report,"
according to the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, that "not
only laid out a plan for a continuous undeveloped corridor along
the escarpment, but also shifted the emphasis from recreation
to conservation... prompted provincial legislation to restrict
quarry development and, later, to regulate all land uses." The
study led to the passage of the Niagara Escarpment Act, the formation
of the Niagara Escarpment Commission, and the designation of
the escarpment as a World Biosphere Reserve by United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 1990. Now,
if you look at a satellite photograph of southern Ontario, you
can see a green ribbon of natural habitats running from Niagara
Falls to the tip of the Bruce Peninsula.
Prof. GERTLER took a two-year leave (from 1972 to 1974) to serve
as director general of research and policy for prime minister
Trudeau's Ministry of State for Urban Affairs. "His breadth of
practice and involvement spoke to the notion that the national
government should have an interest in the well-being of cities,
because as cities go, so goes the country, and he saw that so
early on," said Prof.
WITTY. "He had the ability to see ahead
of his time, but I never came to appreciate it until I was out
and gone from the university [of Waterloo]."
Prof. GERTLER loved to work and continued writing the second
volume of his memoirs even when his health was failing precipitously.
In hospital, only days before he died, he reacted with pleasure
when his son Kim brought him a book on international development
for which he had written the foreword.

GERTLER was born in Montreal on October 10,
1923. He died in Toronto of throat cancer on December 9, 2005.
He was 82. His wife, Anita, predeceased him in June of 2004.
He is survived by four sons, a daughter, four grandchildren and
his brother Maynard.
