Marjory Gibney is a Bow Valley “lifer,” born and raised in the now non-existent town of Seebe, with the Bow River and Mount Yamnuska in her front yard. Having emigrated the vast distance to Canmore, she has to admit that it’s extremely unlikely anything will ever pry her loose from the Valley. With strong Valley roots (her Dad was born and raised in Banff), Marj has absorbed a fair bit of the natural and human history of the area. She retired in 2008 from her career as a school librarian at Lawrence Grassi and Exshaw Schools, and with more time to focus on photography, music, travel and various other passions, she is enthusiastically pursuing her new career as a full time leisurologist.
