Alexander Cameron Ogilvy (1930 - 2015)
Cam Ogilvy was a geology student in 1953 when he worked for the Geological Survey of Canada mapping the St. Elias Mountains. That summer he gave Observation Mountain its name. He worked for many years as a geologist across the north and in every region of Canada. He returned with his wife to the Yukon in 1970 and took a job as a exploration geologist with Archer Cathro. Since that time, he was editor of the Yukon News (Whitehorse), manager of the Yukon Chamber of Mines, and spent fourteen years as the Director of Mineral Resources for the Yukon Region of Northern Affairs. Cam retired from there in 1994. He volunteered with the Boy Scouts, F.H. Collins school council, the Yukon Foundation, and served on the Liquor Act Review Panel. Cam is survived by his wife Jan and children Alan (Diane), Laurel (Bill), and John (Gabriela).1)
