BLESSINGS IN PLENTY FROM JOHN DEAN, A Life and Park History by Jarrett Thomas Teague, is the story of John Dean, one of British Columbia’s pioneers. He was the first citizen to stand up for urban planning and the first private citizen to donate a large chunk of his private land to create a major provincial park.
Despite its historical narrative, this is an easy to-read publication, full of personal anecdotes which make the story of John Dean come alive. His philanthropic work is highlighted and we learn about his love of children. John Dean’s home in Esquimalt remains today and has been designated a heritage structure.
