March 18th, 2020 - Due to the Covid 19 Situation, all BCMC Cabins Are Closed
BCMC & VIMFF present an evening with climbing legend Jim Donini, plus a screening of On The Verge, climbing in the backcountry of Powell River, BC.
Description
Marilyn joined the BCMC in 1953, later becoming a Life member. She was active in the club in the club from the 1950 - 1970 period, later she enjoyed keeping in touch with the club and its members. She participated in ski and climbing trips on the local mountains. When the club had the Seymour cabin, she would often be up there on the weekends. At that time there was lots of skiing on Mt Seymour, involving hiking up on skins and then in the evening, socialisation.
Marilyn served as chairman of the Social Committee for several years, at that time the big event was the Turkey dinner in the Grouse Mountain cabin. All the food had to be carried in, quite a hike as there was usually snow. Later she was also the Treasurer.
She enjoyed some unofficial ski trips to Sunshine Village, and Jasper. Unfortunately she broke her leg and it left her with a deformity so that ended her skiing.
Marilyn was a librarian at UBC, and a few years ago she and Mary McAree spent many hours sorting out the BCMC library, which was much needed.
Marilyn was happy that she achieved her 90th birthday.
