The Suzanne Mackenzie Memorial Fund 

​

Suzanne Mackenzie was a much beloved member of the geographical community, in Canada and internationally, who died at home in Nelson, B.C. on October 24, 1998.

​

She will long be remembered for her courage, her commitment to feminism, her deep sense of caring for friends, family and students, her sense of justice and right and her irrepressible humour, bound up in a generous spirit.

​

Every second year, the Fund established by CWAG/FIGS in memory of Suzanne Mackenzie supports the Suzanne Mackenzie Memorial Lecture and Reception, which take place at the Annual Meeting of the CAG. The lecture is given by someone whose involvement in geography bears a significant correspondence with Suzanne's interests and passions.  A sub-committee of FIGS is responsible for the selection of the speaker. 

 

The journal Canadian Geographies publishes the Memorial Lecture series, subject to a refereeing process organized by the Editor. The speaker promises to submit her lecture to the journal within a reasonable timeframe after the Annual Meeting.

 

The Suzanne Mackenzie Memorial Fund contributes an amount not to exceed the annual interest on the Fund’s capital, to help cover the reception and partial travel expenses for the speaker, if required.​
