Dr. Irving K. Barber has been honoured with a 2009 Special Award for Philanthropy from the British Columbia Museums Association. The award was given in recognition of his involvement with several philanthropic activities in the province, most notably his exceptional gift for the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, which provides innovative support and funding to the cultural sector.

Dr. Barber and his wife Jean attended the awards ceremony in Osoyoos on October 16. Congratulations Ike!
