Head and shoulders image of Dr. Ka-iu Fung, professor, Department of Geography.
Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Ka-iu Fung was born on 26 June 1935 in Hong Kong. After enduring a difficult childhood and surviving the hardships of World War II he went on to excel in high school, eventually winning a much coveted place in university where he studied Geography. Dr. Fung eventually won a scholarship and moved to Edmonton to do his MSc at the University of Alberta in. He moved to Saskatoon in 1965 after being recommended to work as a cartographer on the book Atlas of Saskatchewan. Dr. Fung earned his PhD from the University of London, England in 1979. During his career at the U of S he served as editor on the Atlas of Saskatchewan for the "Millennium Edition". He was extremely proud of his involvement in the atlas projects often marvelling that he had done most of the maps in the first edition by hand while the update was done fully on the computer. The latest Atlas of Saskatchewan won two Saskatchewan Book Awards and has taken its place on many bookshelves in the province. After 37 years of dedicated service to the Department of Geography, Dr. Fung retired in 2002 and was named Professor Emeritus. Dr. Fung died in Saskatoon in 2013.
