Bob Ahrens was a visionary leader who inspired a generation of park staff in British Columbia.
A commentary by a former deputy minister of environment, lands and parks and of water, land and air protection.
However, to understand his real gifts and contributions we need to look back to the days when it was far more difficult to lead the Parks Branch. Amazingly along the way they achieved things which placed foundations in place for the future while protecting the essence of the then present day. They built the road and lakeside recreation system we know and love today.
Ahrens was one of those architects of the future who was very much grounded in the present reality. To have done this when very few people understood let alone supported the principles of conservation that we are only today coming to fully appreciate was a remarkable achievement.
