Cyril Leonoff : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cyril Leonoff Cyril Edel Leonoff (February 22, 1925) is the Founding President and Historian Emeritus of the (Jewish Historical Society of British Columbia ). == Biography ==
Cyril Leonoff was born to Jewish parents William Leonoff and Rose Leonoff (née Brotman) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. His grandparents on both sides of his family came to Canada from Eastern Europe, the Leonoffs from Nicolaiov, Russia and the Brotmans from the Polish town Bialykammin in Galicia. The Brotmans were among the first homestead families to settle in the farming colony of Wapella, Saskatchewan. Leonoff attended schools in the north end of Winnipeg, where many of the students were Jewish. His Jewish education, however, was provided mostly by a private tutor. During his second year of classes at the University of Manitoba, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and was stationed in Kingston, Ontario in the Signal Corps. Near the end of World War II in Europe, he was posted to the Signals Research establishment in Ottawa and was discharged in 1945 after V-J Day. He then returned to the University of Manitoba where he enrolled in veterans classes in Engineering. In 1949, Leonoff and his wife moved to New Westminster, British Columbia, where he worked for the Rivers & Harbours Branch of the Public Works Department, before moving to Seattle to complete his post-graduate education in geotechnical engineering. They returned to Vancouver in 1952 where he took a job with the firm Ripley & Associates which eventually became Klohn Leonoff Consulting Engineers. Leonoff retired in 1985 and still resides in Vancouver.〔Cyril Leonoff, interviewed by Irene Dodek, 12 March 2001, Jewish Historical Society of British Columbia, Ohio. 2001.58〕
