With the end of the 2024/25 lecture series, Michael Kluckner has retired as president of the Vancouver Historical Society after a decade at the helm.
A unique blend of visual artist and writer (his website is here), Michael shepherded the society through a difficult period (COVID) while maintaining membership, attracting younger members, taking the lectures online and acting as a knowledgeable media contact on matters historical and heritage-related.
I think he's done a terrific job, as will, I am sure, his presidential successor John Belshaw. Best of luck to them both.
