Approximately 100 people including friends of the late Michael Williams attended the Nov. 17 naming ceremony of the Michael Williams Building, followed by unveiling of the new sign
and ceremonial blessing of song, drumming and dance by the Copper Maker Dancers with Chief Calvin Hunt and his family.
The newly named Michael Williams Building honours the legacy and generosity of the devoted philanthropist, heritage property developer and patron of the arts whose estate is the
single largest donation from an individual to UVic, supporting its academic mission for generations of students.
University of Victoria President Jamie Cassels was officially installed as the university’s seventh president and vice-chancellor during a Nov. 12 convocation ceremony. He invited
graduates to use their education to make the world a better place.
A leading figure in the commercial and industrial development of 20th-century British Columbia is being honoured.
