George Wheeler Govier was born June 15, 1917 in Nanton, Alberta to George Arthur and Gertrude Govier. When George Jr. was a child, his father suffered the same setbacks that befell many in the tough economic period. The family-owned general store was lost and the Goviers relocated to Penticton and then Vancouver, British Columbia in search of greater opportunities. George’s love of academics and his facility in chemistry, physics and mathematics eventually led to an Applied Bachelor of Science degree from the University of British Columbia.
