Born in England, Harrison moved to Canada where he became renowned for colourful paintings portraying the Yukon. He died in Victoria in 2015. Lunds had estimated that the Magnificent Yukon acrylic-on-canvas painting, 48 inches by 64 inches, would sell for between $25,000 and $35,000. Another Harrison painting, Paddlewheeler, sold for $55,000 well above the estimate of $10,000 to $15,000 for the 36-inch by 24-inch artwork. The strong prices “really shows that Eric had a bit of an eye. He was a keen collector of good things,” said Lunds president Peter Boyle on Wednesday. Boyle was “pleasantly surprised” by the sale prices for the Harrison works. Each went to a different buyer. Some will stay in Greater Victoria, while others are leaving the Island.

It aims to support people to do a mile however and wherever suits them with three tailor-made versions; an individual and family toolkit, a toolkit for employers and a community organisation toolkit. The toolkit, developed by GM Walking in collaboration with communities and businesses, follows Greater Manchester’s ambition to be world’s first Daily Mile city region and January’s milestone achievement of 500 primary schools signing up to The Daily Mile scheme.
