Toronto, July 18, 2013.<\/strong> Past President of the PHSC and past editor of the Photographic Canadiana<\/em>, Bill Belier passed away peacefully at St Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated next Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at All Saints Church on Royal York at La Rose (just above Eglinton).<\/p>\n

Bill was well known in the photographic industry and in the PHSC. He was president in 1983 – 85 and organized the very successful PHSC 10th Anniversary PhotoHeritage 1984<\/em> seminar and dinner at York University. Completing his tour as president, Bill became editor of Photographic Canadiana<\/em> from 1985 – 1986, although he was a major influence on the magazine throughout his presidency.<\/p>\n

Once he completed his support of the PHSC, Bill became closely involved with the Rotary Club. We enjoyed the Rotary Club’s delicious Christmas cakes for many years. A more detailed coverage of his activities is included in his obituary<\/a> published in the Toronto Star<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
