History
Helena Turner (née Keizer) was born on December 1, 1945 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In 1951, her family emigrated to Vancouver, where Turner attended Kitsilano Secondary School before starting at SFU as a charter student in 1965. Turner left SFU in 1966 to follow other pursuits, such as her trip to the Arctic in 1970 (the photographs from this trip are available through Library and Archives Canada). She earned a BA from the University of Victoria in 1994 and returned to Amsterdam in 2002.
