At age six, Tibbie emigrated from Scotland with her family, taking
up residence in New Westminster, where she lived for most of
her life. She will be remembered for her gracious manner, her
inquiring mind, and her lively interest in the lives of her family,
Friends, and former students. Tibbie began her long teaching
career at age 19, in a 1 room schoolhouse on Gabriola Island,
moving to Courtney and returning during the war years to teach
in New Westminster, where she remained until she retired in 1973.
Her determination and love of learning, particularly history,
led her to gradually complete both Bachelors and Masters degrees
at University of British Columbia. In her active retirement years
she continually sought out ways to pursue her intellectual, social
and spiritual interests (University Women's Club; Philanthropic
Educational Opportunity Chapter "P"Sisterhood; St. Aiden's Presbyterian
church), and spent many enjoyable months each year at the family
summer home at Gower Point on the Sunshine Coast, where she made
lifelong Friends among the summer resident families there. The
family wishes to thank the staff of Kiwanis Care for the kindness
and love they showed towards Tibbie, and for the excellent all-round
environment of both peaceful care and stimulating activity which
made her last years so enjoyable for her. A family Memorial Service
will be held for Tibbie at Kiwanis Care Centre.

Judge breathed creative life into the Charter
'His judgments reflected a belief that judges were, above all,
independent, principled guardians of the Constitution'
By Kirk MAKIN,
Justice
Reporter,
Page
S10
Former chief justice Antonio
LAMER - one of the longest-serving
and most influential judges in Canadian history - died Saturday,
several weeks after recurring heart trouble and failing health
forced him into an Ottawa hospital.
Appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1980, Mr.
LAMER,
74, spent his 20 years on the court consolidating his reputation
as a renowned law reformer who was determined to breathe creative
life into the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
When he retired in 2000 - after being chief justice for a decade
- Mr. LAMER was more closely identified with the protection of
the rights of the accused than any judge in the country.
"I think Canada should be very grateful for the fact that it
had a criminal expert with his vision on the court at the time
the Charter was enacted," Queen's University law professor Don
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART said in an interview yesterday.
"He was not just an expert, but a very imaginative judge whose
judgments made a significant contribution to the development
of criminal law under the Charter."
Mr.
Justice
James
MacPHERSON of the Ontario Court of Appeal said
that Mr. LAMER had an enormous thirst for Charter interpretation
and soon became the court's most prolific writer and influential
thinker.
"He was a very energetic, intellectual and friendly man, and
a terrific colleague who was always willing to shoulder extra
work," said Judge
MacPHERSON, who served as the Supreme Court's
executive legal officer in the early 1980s.
A famed Montreal criminal lawyer who acted in numerous sensational
trials, Mr.
LAMER also served as chairman of the Law Reform Commission
of Canada at its height in the late 1970s.
"He was a great civil libertarian," Criminal Lawyers Association
president Frank
ADDARIO said. "His judgments reflected a belief
that judges were, above all, independent, principled guardians
of the Constitution. He was unafraid to disappoint the government
or the police. He made a great contribution to modernizing criminal
law."
Mr. LAMER was one of a troika of judges in the mid-1980s who
- alongside Chief Justice Brian Dickson and Madam Justice Bertha
Wilson - came to be identified with a willingness to strike down
legislation and reform controversial areas of law.
In particular, Mr.
LAMER was instrumental in interpreting the
moral culpability involved in certain crimes, the right to legal
counsel and the right to be free of improper search and seizure.
However, his track record also transformed him into something
of a judicial lightning rod when a conservative backlash against
the Charter began to take root in the 1990s. Mr.
LAMER was stung
by criticisms from the right, and went so far at one point as
to urge his fellow judges to strike back and defend their role.
"He has often been falsely tagged as being unremittingly pro-accused,"
Prof. STEWARD/STEWART/STUART said yesterday. "A fair look at his record shows
that he also not infrequently favoured the state's law-enforcement
interests."
During his time as chief justice, the Supreme Court bench was
staggered by illness and strong-minded individualists who frequently
wrote their own concurring or dissenting reasons for judgment.
Yet Mr. LAMER managed to forge a strong record for administrative
efficiency. He was proud of having eliminated the court's backlog
and issuing timely judgments.
Mr. LAMER worked at the law firm Stikeman Elliott until shortly
before his death. Last year, he produced a major inquiry report
on three wrongful murder convictions in Newfoundland.
He was also an independent commissioner of the Communications
Security Establishment, the national code-breaking agency.
Antonio LAMER was born in Montreal on July 8, 1933, and died
in Ottawa on November 24, 2007, of a cardiac illness. He was
74. He leaves his wife, Danièle
TREMBLAY, son Stéphane and stepchildren
Jean-Frédéric and Mélanie.
Some of the key rulings in which Mr.
LAMER authored the majority
decision
R v. Collins The decision set important legal tests for the exclusion
of evidence illegally obtained by police.
R v. Swain The court struck down the automatic detention of those
acquitted of crimes on grounds of insanity.
R v. Smith The ruling struck down a mandatory minimum prison
sentence of seven years for those convicted of importing marijuana.
Reference re. S. 94(2) of the British Columbia Motor Vehicle
Act The court said that when looking for violations of the right
to life, liberty and security of the person, judges could look
beyond the fairness of mere procedures and decide whether the
actual substance of a law was fair.
R v. Vaillancourt A constructive murder provision was struck
down because the accused man - whose accomplice in a robbery
had killed a bystander - did not have the requisite "guilty mind"
to be found guilty of murder.
R v. Bartle One of several cases where he played a central role
in carving out a broad right to legal counsel.
R v. O'Connor The defence was given a right to see records involving
what a sexual-assault complainant told her therapist.
Delgamuukw The court had previously viewed aboriginal rights
as frozen based on their status when Europeans arrived in Canada.
It granted broad rights to aboriginal title on disputed lands.
