Courtney Milne, master photographer, artist, author, educator, keynote speaker, and philanthropist passed away this week at him home in Grandora.

Courtnery's career has taken him on a global journey that has spanned all seven continents. He has published 12 books of photography, including The Sacred Earth, with a foreword by His Holiness, The Dalai Lama. Milne's multi-media shows have attracted audiences worldwide, and his photographs have been shown in more than 200 exhibitions. His limited edition collections are held by more than 25 galleries, museums and universities.

Courtney grew up in Saskatoon and was a great lover of the river valley. Before his death Courtney's suggestion that you find your own sacred place in nature where you feel a connection with the Divine Mystery.... a place that you care for and feel connected to, whether in your own back yard, in the park down the street, or a piece of wilderness. Do that in honor of him, and imprint his inspiration in your heart.

A Joyful Celebration of Courtney's life will be held at a later date

In lieu of flowers Courtney has encouraged people to consider a making a donation in his name to the Meewasin Valley Authority.
