Joining him at the unveiling of a commemorative plaque at the site are: left, Arthur Irving (’52), DUC volunteer since 1976 and former DUC president in 1986 and 1987; Fairn; past DUC director Joe Hickman, QC; and John Waugh, former eastern regional manager of DUC and retired engineer who has been heavily involved in all DUC wetland projects.
