TMI’s first publication was I Was There: An Autobiography by Frank
Proctor, an acclaimed B.C. artist and veteran of the D-Day Normandy
landings, about his personal involvement in major events and social changes
through the 20th century. His writing with humour and artistic perception has
inspired many readers, both young and old.
In 2007 TMI published Honouring the Child: Changing Ways of Teaching
authored by Pamela Proctor. Pam writes about her life’s work in changing
from traditional classrooms to personalize learning with child centred
teaching and her experience with the founding and sustaining of a unique
public school in Vancouver. She maintains her own website for her ongoing
role as mentor to primary teachers and writing articles in support of changes
to facilitate child centred personalized learning at
www.honouringthechild.com
Following her book tours, in which she met with parents and teacher in 30
communities throughout British Columbia, Pam realized there was a need to
know about the elements to organize and facilitate personalized learning for
young children. To fulfill this need, she authored her second book
Honouring the Child II: A Guide to Ways of Learning for Teachers and
Parents which TMI published in 2013.

Meet Artist Frank Proctor
After retirement as Quartermaster Sergeant in the Regina Rifles Regiment, and from his own business in Mission, B.C., Frank Proctor resumed his love of painting that had been nurtured during his youth in England. He went out painting at every opportunity well into his 90’s and completed some 350 works of art. His works were chosen twice for the British Columbia Festival of the arts, and for exhibitions at the Harrison Gallery and the Gibson Public Art Gallery. While Frank died in 2000, today his paintings continue to be enjoyed. Recently TMI has started to produce a series of cards featuring some of his hallmark works. A catalogue of available cards and prints can be requested by contacting us.
