JOHN KINNEAR D’ESTERRE
Marine-related matters have posed a life-long fascination for John d’Esterre. His keen understanding and broad knowledge of local nautical lore is widely recognized and has been generously shared amongst both individuals and institutions within the community. Serving as a founding director of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston, he provided – and continues to provide - enthusiasm and wise guidance during the formative years. The Kingston Yacht Club, which - through its international regattas - exposes sportsmen from all parts of the world to Kingston’s maritime tradition, has similarly benefited from his zeal and selfless commitment of time. His stewardship of Garden Island, that jewel amongst our many historic sites, and his preservation of the records of the D.D. Calvin Company are major contributions to Kingston’s heritage.
GEORGE WILKINSON VOSPER
Throughout his long record of community service, this third-generation Kingstonian, has displayed a deep awareness of the role which knowledge of the past plays in the development and maintenance of civic pride and identity. Mr. Vosper has worked diligently to preserve Kingston history and heritage as a City Alderman, a member of the City Planning Board, Committee of Adjustment and LACAC, as a founding member of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation and as a private citizen. His personal generosity has resulted in the acquisition of important art and photographic collections by local institutions.
HELEN COFFEY
Helen Coffey was presented with a special award for her long-standing and outstanding work for the Society, and, in particular, for her many years of service on the Welcoming Committee.
