IN MEMORIUM

 

 

His Worship, Mayor Derek Corrigan announced the recent passing of Freeman George McLean. The text of the Mayor’s statement follows:

 

“I have a sad task this evening.  That is to advise those of you who don’t already know, about the May 7 passing of City of Burnaby freeman, George McLean. 

George was a city councillor in 1958-1959; then from 1966 to 1971; 1973 to 1976; and from 1981-1987. He was awarded status of Freeman on February 20, 1989.

 

George was a man who embraced the idea of service to his fellow citizens very early in his life. He was only 14 years old when Canada declared war on Germany in 1939, but that did not stop him from trying to immediately enlist to serve his country. It turned out that he had to wait a little longer. Recruitment agents realized that the eager lad didn’t meet the minimum age of 18. Undeterred, two years later at 16, George marched back to the navy office and tried again. This time, he came prepared with a note from his father claiming he had reached the age of majority. He was then accepted into the Royal Canadian Navy and was called to active service in May of 1942.

 

George spent the war primarily working on ships that brought army troops in for landings.  He was 17 when Canadian troops invaded Sicily and they went into Salerno on his 18th birthday.  Throughout the war, George saw action in Gibraltar, North Africa, Malta, Sicily, Great Britain and France and earned numerous medals and awards for his service – including the Italian Star, the North African Star, the France/Germany Star and the Malta Star. 

 

After the war ended, George returned to Canada, married and then settled in Burnaby with his wife Edna.  Despite working and helping to raise his family, George was eager to continue his public service and in 1946 became the Director of the Junior Chamber of Commerce.  He continued his involvement with the Chamber until 1957 when he decided to stand for elected office.

 

This decision marked the beginning of 30 years of service to the City of Burnaby.  When not on Council during this time, he could be found as member or Chair of other Burnaby municipal commissions such as the Advisory Planning Commission (1977-1981) and the Parks and Recreation Commission (1961-1962; and 1965).  George was also a Director of the Lower Mainland Planning Board, the Greater Vancouver Regional District Planning Committee and the Greater Vancouver Regional District Water and Sewer Board.  During his years as an Alderman, George served with five Mayors and spent considerable time working on numerous Council committees.

 

Although the responsibilities of elected office consumed a great deal of his evenings and weekends, George still found time to coach minor hockey for ten years at the Burnaby Winter Club as well as softball as a member of the Westburn Community Association.  Even after he ended his political career in 1987, George continued to be an active member of numerous community organizations such as the Royal Canadian.

 

 

Legion Branch No. 83, the Burnaby Kingsway Rotary Club, the Central Burnaby Ratepayers Association and the Burnaby Hospital Society.

 

In 1989, Burnaby Municipal Council decided to make George a Freeman of the Municipality in honour of his three decades of community service, but his work certainly did not stop there.  In 2003, he joined with other veterans to lobby the Provincial government to see the Province implement a veterans’ license plate program similar to that being done in Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan.  Thanks in part to his efforts, the campaign was successful and in 2004 the Province of British Columbia began recognizing its veterans by issuing distinctive license plates for their vehicles.

 

Over the past few years, George was been an active participant in The Memory Project – an initiative of the Dominion Institute and sponsored in part by Veterans Affairs Canada – that brings history to life for schoolchildren by matching schools with local veterans willing to share their experiences with younger generations.  There is no doubt that children of all ages could learn from the experiences of George McLean and he has certainly earned a place as one of Burnaby’s most respected citizens.

 

On behalf of the Burnaby City Council, my sincere condolences to George’s family and many, many friends. We are among them and will miss him very much.  George will be fondly remembered by all who knew him; and his legacy, as did his innumerable contributions throughout his life, will continue to shape our city and keep it safe, welcoming and – like George – always responsive to citizens’ needs.”

 

Council observed a minute of silence in honour of Freeman McLean.

A note from staff informed Council that the summer camp program is for elementary aged school children. This request to post lawn signs is not for a community oriented special event of potential interest to the general public. There are also many other potential organizations that would want to promote their summer day camp programs within Burnaby such as Burnaby Parks and Recreation, SFU, YMCA, BCSPCA and other private companies. It is recommended that NEBCA try to work with Burnaby School District 41 since their target audience is school aged children.
