- Scope and Content
- Fonds consists of a small collection of photographs documenting the Ferris family's time while Reverend Garfield James Ferris was a minister at the Church of the Nazarene, Burquitlam.
- History
- Reverend Garfield James Ferris and his family moved to Burquitlam from Red Deer, Alberta, in July 1955 to obtain a posting at the Church of Nazarene. Reverend Ferris and his wife Tabea (both aged 34 years) moved together with their three children, Lorne Garfield (age 13), Sharron Rose (age 10), and Faye Muriel (age 6). This was Reverend Ferris' first full-time church posting after having completed his Ministerial training at Canadian Nazarene College in Red Deer, Alberta. The family moved themselves into the parsonage which was located right next to the Church of Nazarene at 577 Clarke Road, Burquitlam. The parsonage was a two-bedroom bungalow, so the three children shared a room with a bunk bed, single bed, and a peg board as a room divider. Tabea Ferris worked for their aunt Marion Johnston who ran the Buena Vista Senior's home in New Westminster and then the Salvation Army Sunset Lodge in New Westminter to augment her husband's salary of $30.00 per week from the church. Reverend Garfield James Ferris was part of the New Westminster Ministerial Association, an Ecumenical group who took turns doing morning daily devotions on CKNW radio. The Ferris children attended Mountain View school, Winslow Junior High School, and Como Lake High School before the family moved to Lulu Island (now Richmond) in 1959.

- Scope and Content
- Recording is of an interview with Dr. Leonard Evenden and Dr. Allen Seager conducted by Kathy Bossort. Leonard Evenden and Allen Seager were two of 23 participants interviewed as part of the Community Heritage Commission’s Burnaby Mountain Oral History Project. The interview is mainly about aspects of Simon Fraser University’s history that is related to its site on Burnaby Mountain, as told by two retired SFU professors, Dr. Evenden of the Geography Department and Dr. Seager of the Department of History. The interview ranges over campus access and housing issues created by the isolated mountain site; the relationship of the university to the local community and the dispute over land ownership and control with the City of Burnaby; SFU’s environmental stewardship; the development of UniverCity; and the future of parkland in the conservation area on Burnaby Mountain.
- Biographical Notes
- Dr. Leonard J. Evenden was born 1937 in Beijing, China, to parents and Salvation Army missionaries Leonard Evenden and Elsie Pearl March. Dr. Evenden attended McMaster University (B.A. 1960), University of Georgia (M.A. 1962) and University of Edinburgh (Ph.D. 1970). He was appointed to Simon Fraser University’s Department of Geography in 1966, shortly after SFU opened in the fall of 1965, and retired in 2002. Dr. Evenden’s research has focused on Canadian urban geography. He edited a collection of essays about Burnaby titled “Suburb of Happy Homes: Burnaby centennial themes” (1995), and directed “Voices of Burnaby”, an SFU/Burnaby Centennial Committee oral history project (1992). Dr. Evenden is married with three children. Dr. Allen Seager was born 1953 in Montreal, Quebec, to parents C.F.B. Seager and Evelyn DeGex Chesam. Dr. Seager is a retired Simon Fraser University professor, being a member of SFU’s Department of History from 1981 to 2014, and has current links with SFU as an instructor for Continuing Studies. His research interests include history of Canada and Western Canada, and labour and working class history, particularly in the coal mining and railway industries. Dr. Seager moved to Burnaby and the Montecito area in 1981 where he continues to live and enjoy the hiking trails on Burnaby Mountain and the amenities at SFU. Dr. Seager is a member of the Burnaby North NDP, and has volunteered with Scouts Canada and the Burnaby Centennial Committee.
