In Loving Memory ~ 1946 ~ 2026 It is with great sadness, but also with many fond memories and a smile, that we announce the passing of Gordon Skevy, a much-loved husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law, colleague and friend. Gordon was predeceased in 2010 by his beloved wife of 40 years, Pauline, with whom he shared a wonderful life filled with love, laughter and adventure. He leaves behind his two daughters, Sharon and Theresa, his cherished grandchildren, Seth and Imogen, and his son-in-law, Dan, who will all miss him dearly. Born in the UK, Gordon emigrated to Canada in 1996, bringing with him a wealth of business experience and the entrepreneurial spirit that had made him a successful businessman in Manchester, where he owned and operated his own business. He was a man who knew how to work hard, make things happen and, when the opportunity arose, have a good laugh along the way.

Common Quandary

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

You lecture everyone about climate change—then get invited on a dream flight. Do you go?

A close friend living overseas invites you to an important celebration. Flying is affordable but carbon-intensive. Your individual decision will not determine whether the flight operates, yet it conflicts with commitments you publicly encourage others to make.

When is a small personal contribution to a large harm morally significant?
